Thouless theorem for one and two degrees of freedom

We perform an accessible demonstration of Thouless theorem for systems of one and two degrees of freedom, using only elementary quantum mechanics. This theorem is specially useful to ¯nd the vacuum of a transformed set of bosonic operators. A further motivation comes from experiments involving few t...
