Discrete quantum states?

This article states: "Usually, the quantum states are discrete...." Is this true? If so, what is the explanation? (How is position discrete?) I would be interested to see some references. (I could not find the word "discrete" in the article on "quantum states"). 140.180.163.6 (talk) 05:47, 20 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Might want to discuss difference between Gibbs and Boltzmann for negative absolute temperature

As in, Gibbs works, Boltzmann doesn't work: http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2013/its-a-negative-on-negative-absolute-temperatures-1220.html?goback=%2Egde_36972_member_5822015646686277636#%21

Suggest merge into Entropy. This article refers to the same "entropy" but different methods.

I've added a template at top of article suggesting moving into Entropy, just as Entropy (classical thermodynamics) has a similar proposal to merge into Entropy. It isn't a different "entropy" that's the subject of this article; just a different theory or model or set of methods for analyzing/understanding/explaining entropy or making predictions about phenomena.
