Abstract:
We define and fully characterize the witnesses based on second moments detecting steering in Gaussian states by means of Gaussian measurements. All such tests, which arise from linear combination of variances or second moments of canonical operators, are easily implemented in experiments. We propose also a set of linear constraints fully characterizing steering witnesses when the steered party has one bosonic mode, while in the general case the constraints restrict the set of tests detecting steering. Given an unknown quantum state we implement a semidefinite program providing the appropriate steering test with respect to the number of random measurements performed. Thus, it is a ”repeat-until-success” method allowing for steering detection with less measurements than in full tomography. We study the efficiency of steering detection for two-mode squeezed vacuum states, for two-mode general unknown states, and for three-mode continuous variable GHZ states. In addition, we discuss the robustness of this method to statistical errors.
