Description
The classical and semiclassical position entropies for the three-dimensional Coulomb problem are obtained explicitly for all values of angular momentum, without recourse to asymptotic expansions. The analytic results relate the classical period of the motion, total energy, position entropy and dependence upon the principal quantum number n. It is demonstrated that the position entropy varies with energy E as ln|E|-1
