37. Often, in the theoretical practice, the second moments of a bosonic or canonical quantum system are grouped together in a matrix called "correlation" or "covariance" matrix.

43. In fact, the matrix iΩV is Hermitian and, therefore, diagonalizable by a unitary transformation. Then, by taking the modulus of its 2n real eigenvalues, one gets the n symplectic eigenvalues of V.

51. For every M M (n,R) there always exists a pair of proper rotations R1, R2 SO (n) such that M= R1 D R2T with D diagonal and real.
52. For the possibility of symplectically diagonalizing quadratic forms under different positivity conditions, see Appendix 6 of Ref..
53. According to the Sylvester's law of inertia, congruence transformations preserve the signs of the eigenvalues.

56. Notice that Ref. adopts the commutation relations [x l, x m] =i Ωlm, so that the variance of the vacuum noise is equal to 1/2. In this notation, our Eq. 85 becomes detAdetB+ [(1/4) -detC] 2 - I4 (detA+detB) /4, which is exactly the Eq. (17) of Ref..
57. This theorem is a specialization of the orthogonal block diagonalization which is valid for all the normal matrices [see, e.g., R. A. Horn and C. R. Johnson, Matrix Analysis (Cambridge University Press, New York, 2006), Chap.]. Clearly, the uniqueness of A and O holds up to permutation in the spectrum.
