Abstract: In this paper by using geometric techniques, we provide upper bounds for the Poincar'e recurrence time of a quantum mixed state with discrete spectrum of energies. In the case of discrete but finite spectrum we obtain two type of upper bounds; one of them depends on the uncertainty in the energy, and the other depends only on the (finite) number of states. In the case of discrete but non-finite spectrum we obtain in the same way two upper bounds defining the number of relevant states according to an statistical measurement. These bounds correspond to two different situations in the quantum recurrence process. The first bound is a recurrence time estimation purely quantum, while the other bound that is related with the number of relevant states survives in the classical limit.
