| contents | Given a set of ordered quantum states, described by density operators $% \{ρ_{j}\}_{j=1}^{n}$, the Bargmann invariant of $\{ρ_{j}\}_{j=1}^{n}$ is defined as tr($ρ_{1}ρ_{2}...ρ_{n}$). Bargmann invariant serves as a fundamental concept for quantum mechanics and has diverse applications in quantum information science. Bosonic Gaussian states are a class of quantum states on infinite-dimensional Hilbert space, widely used in quantum optics and quantum information science. Bosonic Gaussian states are conveniently and conventionally characterized by their means and covariance matrices. In this work, we provide the expression of Bargmann invariant tr($ρ_{1}ρ_{2}...ρ_{n}$) for any $m$-mode bosonic Gaussian states $\{ρ_{j}\}_{j=1}^{n}$ in terms of the means and covariance matrices of $\{ρ_{j}\}_{j=1}^{n}.$ We also use this expression to explore the permissible values of Bargmann invariants for bosonic Gaussian states. |
