Toeplitz Density Operators and their Separability Properties

Toeplitz operators (also called localization operators) are a generalization of the well-known anti-Wick pseudodifferential operators studied by Berezin and Shubin. When a Toeplitz operator is positive semi-definite and has trace one we call it a density Toeplitz operator. Such operators represent physical states in quantum mechanics. In the present paper we study several aspects of Toeplitz operators when their symbols belong to some well-known functional spaces (e.g. the Feichtinger algebra) and discuss (tentatively) their separability properties with an emphasis on the Gaussian case.
