Abstract
For quantum mechanical systems an entropy-like quantity is defined. can differ from the usually defined entropy and may increase with time for an isolated system. The essential condition for the difference between and is the assumption that the set {\bf A} of observables which can be represented by a measurement is a proper subset of the set of selfadjoint operators. The underlying idea is made visible in the case of particle systems with non-trivial scattering. The model-character of the reasoning comes from the fact that continuous spectra are replaced by point-spectra. So it seems evident, that no direct connection exists between and the Sinai-Kolmogorov-Entropy at least in this model with pure point-spectra.
