Wave-particle duality is often considered as the modern answer to the problemof the nature of light after more than 2000 years of questioning. It is alsothe answer given by quantum physics concerning the nature of matter particlesand any other radiations. The main objective of this work is to analyze therelations that are existing between this concept of wave-particle duality, theuncertainty principle and the concepts of phase space and microstatesconsidered in statistical mechanics. It is mainly highlighted that while theconcepts of phase space and microstates were already introduced in classicalphysics before the discovery of the wave-particle duality, a correctunderstanding of them cannot be achieved without the use of the concept ofquantum phase space and phase space representation of quantum mechanics whichare directly related to the uncertainty principle. The possibility of usingthese concepts of quantum phase space and phase space representations ofquantum mechanics to help in a deeper description of the wave-particle dualityand in the study of some current issues related to foundational problems ofquantum mechanics like quantum decoherence and the measurement problem is alsodiscussed.
