Abstract

Abstract The uncertainty area δ (p, q): - [∫ W(p, q)2 dp dq] - 1 is proposed in place of δ p • δ q, and it is shown that each pure quantum state is a minimum uncertainty state in this sense: δ (p, q) = 2 π ħ. For mixed states, on the other hand, δ(p, q) > 2π ħ. In a phase space of 2F(=6N) dimensions, S: = k B • log[δF (p,q)/(2 π ħ)F] whit δF (p,q):= [∫ W(p, q)2 dF p dF q]-1 is considered as an alternative to von Neumann`s entropy S̃:= kB • trc [ρ̂ log (ρ̂-1)].
