Abstract
The Weyl correspondence, or Weyl quantization, is well-known both in harmonic analysis and quantum mechanics. It is part of the wider Weyl–Wigner–Moyal theory, where an emphasis on phase space techniques is made.

Strictly speaking, we should reserve the term “observable” to real symbols; we are thus committing a slight abuse of terminology.
