Obtaining the star product from the Weyl quantisation of the product of two symbols
It can be shown (Groenewold 1946) that the Weyl quantisation of the product of two Weyl symbols is given by
$$ [A(\textbf{r})B(\textbf{r})]_{w}=\frac{1}{(2\pi)^{2}}\int_{\mathbb{R}^{4}}e^{i\...

Definition of symmetrically ordered operator for multi-mode case?
As I know, Wigner function is useful for evaluating the expectation value of an operator. But first you have to write it in a symmetrically ordered form. For example:
$$a^\dagger a = \frac{a^\dagger ...
