Popis: Bopp shifts were introduced in 1956 in the study of statistical interpretations of quantum mechanics. They lead to a phase space view of quantum mechanics closely related to the Moyal star product and its interpretation as a deformation quantization. In the present paper we pursue our study of Bopp quantization by initiated in previous work and apply it to give a new phase space description of the density operator, that is of the mixed states of quantum mechanics.
