26. s ∈ ℂ, then W transforms any classical n-mode state into a similar state. Otherwise said, the unitary transformation ρ→ ρ: = WρW† is a bijective mapping on the convex set of the classical n-mode states. For a proof of this theorem in an illustrative particular case, namely the mixing of two field modes in a lossless beam splitter, see Wang Xiangbin, Phys. Rev. A 66, 024303 (2002).
