A phase space localization operator in negative binomial states

Abstract: We are dealing with some spectral properties of a phase space localization operator PR corresponding to the indicator function of a disk of radius R < 1. The localization procedure is achieved with respect to a set of negative binomial states (NBS) labeled by points of the complex unit disk D and depending on a parameter 2B > 1. We derive a formula expressing PR as function of the pseudo harmonic oscillator whose potential function depends on B. The phase space content outside the localization domain is estimated in terms of the photon counting probability distribution associated with the NBS. By using the coherent states transform attached to NBS, we transfer the action of the operator PR to a Bergman space AB(D) of analytic functions on D satisfying a growth condition depending on B and we explicitly give its integral kernel whose limit as R goes to 1 coincides with the reproducing kernel of AB(D). This leads to a natural generalization of this Hilbert space with respect to the parameter R.
