Note on semiclassical uncertainty relations

Abstract

An important manifestation of the Uncertainty Principle, one of the cornerstones of our present understanding of Nature, is that related to semiclassical localization in phase-space. We wish here to add some notes on the subject with reference to the canonical harmonic oscillator problem, with emphasis in the concepts of semiclassical Husimi distributions, the associated Wehrl entropy, escort distributions, and Fisher's information measure.

Semiclassical Treatments and Information Theory

We review here the difference between quantum statistical treatments and semiclassical ones, using as the main concomitant tool a semiclassical, shift-invariant Fisher information measure built up with Husimi distributions. Its semiclassical character notwithstanding, this measure also contains abundant information of a purely quantal nature. Such a tool allows us to refine the celebrated Lieb bound for Wehrl entropies and to discover thermodynamic-like relations that involve the degree of delocalization. Fisher-related thermal uncertainty relations are developed and the degree of purity of canonical distributions, regarded as mixed states, is connected to this Fisher measure as well.

Information, Deformed қ-Wehrl Entropies and Semiclassical Delocalization

Semiclassical delocalization in phase space constitutes a manifestation of the Uncertainty Principle, one indispensable part of the present understanding of Nature and the Wehrl entropy is widely regarded as the foremost localization-indicator. We readdress the matter here within the framework of the celebrated semiclassical Husimi distributions and their associatedWehrl entropies, suitably қ-deformed. We are able to show that it is possible to significantly improve on the extant phase-space classical-localization power.

Quantum echoes in classical and semiclassical statistical treatments

F. Pennini, Ángel Luis Plastino

Some quantal systems require only a small part of the full quantum theory for their analysis in classical terms. In such understanding we review some recent literature on semiclassical treatments. An analysis of it allows one to see that some important quantum features of the harmonic oscillator can indeed be already encountered at the classical or semiclassical statistical levels.
