LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Entropic uncertainty relations for the infinite well
Abstract
We calculate the entropic and standard uncertainty relations for the position and momentum of the infinite potential well as functions of its quantum states. We show that the entropic uncertainty relations express more adequately the uncertainty principle than the standard ones which use the dispersions as measures of the uncertainties for two non-commuting observables.
