What is the Wigner representation of $\left(\hat{x}^2+\hat{p}^2\right)^n$?

I would like to calculate the Wigner representation of the operators $\left(\hat{x}^2+\hat{p}^2\right)^3$ and $\left(\hat{x}^2+\hat{p}^2\right)^4$. I know at least two ways to do it, but both rely on ...

Bopp operators and Wigner-Weyl representation

I am learning about the Wigner-Weyl transformations to move a $c$-number Lindblad operator $A(x,p)$ back into operator form. As far as I know, to move back and forth normally requires a four variable ...

Examples of Weyl transforms of nontrivial operators

I've been able to find examples of Weyl transforms of operators like $\hat{x}$,$\hat{p}$, and $\hat{1}$, but not anything more complicated. Are there derivations of the Weyl transforms of more ...
