Description
The thesis first discusses the history and general
properties of entropy, concentrating on the mathematical
properties. It then introduces the formalism of
stochastic quantum mechanics and the stochastic
Boltzmann-Gibbs-Shannon entropy, emphasizing the
advantages of the stochastic formalism. The relative
entropy for the spin 1/2 system is constructed in the
formalisms of usual quantum mechanics and stochastic
quantum mechanics. The maximum spin entropy states are
then found for the quantum mechanical relative spin
entropy and the stochastic classical relative spin
entropy. The latter is shown to be an acceptable
candidate for a new relative spin entropy for the
spin 1/2 system.
