We show that bosonic and fermionic Gaussian states (also known as ``squeezed coherent states’’) can be uniquely characterized by their linear complex structure JJ which is a linear map on the classical phase space. This extends conventional Gaussian methods based on covariance matrices and provides a unified framework to treat bosons and fermions simultaneously. Pure Gaussian states can be identified with the triple (G,\Omega,J)(G,Ω,J) of compatible Kähler structures, consisting of a positive definite metric GG, a symplectic form \OmegaΩ and a linear complex structure JJ with J^2=-\mathbb{1}J2=−1. Mixed Gaussian states can also be identified with such a triple, but with J^2\neq -\mathbb{1}J2≠−1. We apply these methods to show how computations involving Gaussian states can be reduced to algebraic operations of these objects, leading to many known and some unknown identities. We apply these methods to the study of (A) entanglement and complexity, (B) dynamics of stable systems, (C) dynamics of driven systems. From this, we compile a comprehensive list of mathematical structures and formulas to compare bosonic and fermionic Gaussian states side-by-side.
