Abstract
In view of the recently proposed entropic uncertainty relations several characterisations of 'maximal information' and 'minimal uncertainty' are compared and applied to position and momentum. It is argued that a sufficiently refined entropic uncertainty relation might require the general concept of POV observables as used in stochastic quantum mechanics.
