We present an entropy concept measuring quantum localization in dynamical systems based on time averaged probability densities. The suggested entropy concept is a generalization of a recently introduced [Phys. Rev. Lett. 75 (1995), 362] phase-space entropy to any representation chosen according to t

โฆ Synopsis
A generalized entropy is used in order to advance a different form of expressing the Uncertainty Principle of Quantum mechanics. We consider the generafized entropic formulation for different pairs of incompatible observables. In particular, we study the number-phase entropic uncertainty measure for the case of coherent states within the Pegg-Bamett theory. We also tackle the situation of operators with continuous spectra, where a correlation functional is calculated in terms of generalized joint and marginal entropies, for harmonic oscillator wavefunctions.
