Abstract
The time dependent entropy or Leipnik’s entropy of harmonic and damped harmonic oscillator systems is studied by using time dependent wave function obtained by the Feynman path integral method The Leipnik entropy and its envelope change as a function of time angular frequency and damping factor Our results for simple harmonic oscillator are in agreement with the literature However the joint entropy of damped harmonic oscillator shows remarkable discontinuity with time for certain values of damping factor The envelope of the joint entropy curve increases with time monotonically These results show the general properties of the envelope of the joint entropy curve for quantum systems
