54. k obtained by projecting ρ, ρ′ onto the subspaces corresponding to the k largest Schmidt coefficients. Considering the finite case for all k ∈ N, one immediately arrives at the majorisation criterion in the infinite-dimensional case.
55. Note that transformations that are both symplectic and orthogonal reflect all those unitary Gaussian operations that can be implemented by means of passive optical elements (beam splitters and phase shifts).
