Abstract
Shannon entropy for lower position and momentum eigenstates of Pöschl—Teller-like potential is evaluated. Based on the entropy densities demonstrated graphically, we note that the wave through of the position information entropy density ρ( x ) moves right when the potential parameter V 1 increases and its amplitude decreases. However, its wave through moves left with the increase in the potential parameter | V 2 |. Concerning the momentum information entropy density ρ( p ), we observe that its amplitude increases with increasing potential parameter V 1 , but its amplitude decreases with increasing | V 2 |. The Bialynicki—Birula—Mycielski (BBM) inequality has also been tested for a number of states. Moreover, there exist eigenstates that exhibit squeezing in the momentum information entropy. Finally, we note that position information entropy increases with V 1 , but decreases with | V 2 |. However, the variation of momentum information entropy is contrary to that of the position information entropy.
