Entropic Formulation of Uncertainty for Quantum Measurements

Entropic Formulation of Uncertainty for Quantum Measurements

A quantitative formulation of the uncertainty principle, based on Deutsch's idea of using entropy as a measure of uncertainty to remove the inadequacies of the standard treatment, is presented. This uncertainty in general involves the resolution of the measuring device.
