The intent of this MQP is to discuss the notion of Entropic Uncertainty Relations (EUR). The advantage of EUR over the Heisenberg and Robertson uncertainty relations, which are discussed in most quantum texts, will be discussed. Examples of the relations will be described mathematically and graphically for 2- and 3-dimensional quantum systems (qubits and qutrits). These relations are of interest in the development of quantum cryptography, particularly in guaranteeing security in key distribution schemes
