contents The symplectic eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors of symmetric positive-definite matrices in the sense of Williamson's theorem can be computed via minimization of a trace cost function under the symplecticity constraint. The optimal solution to this problem only offers a symplectic basis for a symplectic eigenspace corresponding to the sought symplectic eigenvalues. In this paper, we introduce a Brockett cost function and investigate the connection between its properties and the symplectic eigenvalues and eigenvectors, specifically prove that any critical point consists of symplectic eigenvectors. Surprisingly, the trace minimization theorem for the symplectic eigenvalues can be deduced from our results.
