We compute for any ordering the star exponentials of all polynomials of degree not greater than two on the 2l-dimensional phase space of a quantum system with l degrees of freedom, and we show in the particular case of the Moyal star product that the Weyl transform of the Moyal star exponential of the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator Hamiltonian is the evolution operator of this quantum system.
