New Application of Weyl Correspondence in Studying Husimi Operator

Abstract
In this paper, the so-called Husimi operator Δ h ( q , p ; κ), which is introduced by smoothing out the Wigner operator Δ w ( q , p ) by averaging over the "coarse graining" function exp[-κ( q '- q ) 2 - ( p ' - p ) 2 /κ], is now regarded as a Weyl correspondence connecting the Husimi operator Δ h ( q , p ; κ) with its classical correspondence, since the integration kernel is just the Wigner operator. In this way we can easily identify | p , q ;κ⟩ such that Δ h ( q , p ;κ) = | p , q ;κ⟩ ⟨ p , q ;κ|, where | p , q ; κ⟩ is a new kind of squeezed coherent states. The entangled Husimi operator is also treated in this way. Thus a simple way to find the Husimi operator is presented.
