Quantum Information Entropy for a Hyperbolic Double Well Potential in the Fractional Schrödinger Equation

Abstract

In this study, we investigate the position and momentum Shannon entropy, denoted as Sx and Sp, respectively, in the context of the fractional Schrödinger equation (FSE) for a hyperbolic double well potential (HDWP). We explore various values of the fractional derivative represented by k in our analysis. Our findings reveal intriguing behavior concerning the localization properties of the position entropy density, ρs(x), and the momentum entropy density, ρs(p), for low-lying states. Specifically, as the fractional derivative k decreases, ρs(x) becomes more localized, whereas ρs(p) becomes more delocalized. Moreover, we observe that as the derivative k decreases, the position entropy Sx decreases, while the momentum entropy Sp increases. In particular, the sum of these entropies consistently increases with decreasing fractional derivative k. It is noteworthy that, despite the increase in position Shannon entropy Sx and the decrease in momentum Shannon entropy Sp with an increase in the depth u of the HDWP, the Beckner–Bialynicki-Birula–Mycielski (BBM) inequality relation remains satisfied. Furthermore, we examine the Fisher entropy and its dependence on the depth u of the HDWP and the fractional derivative k. Our results indicate that the Fisher entropy increases as the depth u of the HDWP is increased and the fractional derivative k is decreased.

Characterization of Orbital Angular Momentum Beams by Polar Mapping and Fourier Transform

“…The measuring principles enable one to analyze and select characteristic features of mode structures, interference patterns or astronomical images and to evaluate the quality of beam shaping and optical transmission systems. Other applications may be possible in theoretical physics, e.g., for the analysis of quantum information entropy in multiple quantum well systems [56,57], for the description of partial quantumness by the Wigner function [58] or similar topics.…”

“…In nature, some physical phenomena such as the propagation of optical pulses [8], waves in water [9], waves in plasma [10], and selffocusing in laser pulses can be easily defined using the nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLSE). Thanks to that, e.g., several authors have tried to present analytical solutions [11][12][13][14] and numerical solutions [15,16] of NLSE. NLSE, by its very nature, has attracted the attention of many researchers to illustrate the effectiveness of numerical methods.…”

“…On the other hand, for the inherited characteristics of various materials and processes, FDE systems and models are useful because those can take into account the effects that cannot be modeled with traditional integer-order systems. Thus, FDEs are used in a variety of engineering and applied science disciplines such as chaos theory, signal processing, optimal control, quantum mechanics, electromagnetic theory and so on [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. However, the same complex modelling feature renders finding the analytical solutions to those FDEs very difficult, and therefore it is crucial to have accurate numerical solutions.…”
