Description	The quantum marginal problem asks what local spectra are consistent with a given spectrum of a joint state of a composite quantum system. We solve this problem for Gaussian states for any number of modes, for both pure and mixed states, and formulate the solution in terms of a set of necessary and sufficient conditions. Our result determines what local temperatures or entropies are consistent with a pure or mixed Gaussian state of several modes.
