Was a mathematical physicist, who also contributed to aeronautical engineering, electrical engineering and statistics, established the phase space formulation of quantum mechanics in 1949, by bringing together previous ideas of Hermann Weyl, John von Neumann, Eugene Wigner, and Hilbrand ("Hip") Groenewold. His point of view in this formulation is statistical, and helps bridge the culture gap between quantum mechanics and classical statistical mechanics, enabling a natural comparison between the two. Weyl quantization is a synonym for "Moyal Quantization", or "Phase Space Quantization", and largely avoids use of operators for quantum mechanical observables. Quantum-mechanical evolution in phase space is specified by a Moyal bracket in the celebrated "Moyal equation".
