Abstract: In this paper, a new representation of the Wigner function for a quantum system in the phase space is proposed. The new representation is of the form $W=operatornameSpleft[homathcalWight]$, where $ho$ is the density matrix, and $mathcalW$ is the universal density matrix. The density matrix $ho$ for each quantum system is different, and the universal matrix $mathcalW$ is the same for any quantum system. Thus, the matrix $mathcalW$ has a fundamental character. In the work, the elements of the universal matrix $mathcalW$ were found explicitly and their properties were investigated. The diagonal elements of the matrix $mathcalW$ are the Wigner functions of the harmonic oscillator, which do not introduce dissipation into the quantum system. The off-diagonal elements of the matrix $mathcalW$ contain frequency oscillations responsible for dissipations in the quantum systems.
