Abstract

The solutions to the Dirac equation are obtained in the spin and pseudospin symmetry limits are presented using the parametric Nikiforov-Uvarov (pNU) method with the inversely quadratic Hellman (IQH) potential. In the exact non-relativistic spin symmetry limit, the energy and wave function of the IQH potential are obtained and used to investigate the Shannon information entropy of the system. Numerical results of the relativistic energies of the spin and pseudospin symmetry limits of the Dirac equation with the IQH potential are presented and observed to exhibit degeneracy. Also, the results of the Shannon entropy for six states (n = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) show that the momentum space wave function and probability density are better localized than the position space wave function. Also, the Bialynicki-Birula and Mycielski (BBM) inequality is verified for the system. Our results are found to be consistent with those previously reported in the literature.

Relativistic investigation of fisher information and Shannon entropy for Schioberg plus Yukawa potential

I. B. Okon, Akaninyene Daniel Antia, Cecilia N. Isonguyo +6 more

Quantum information entropies have been properly studied within the confines of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics ( QM ) by solving Schrödinger wave equation for different considerable potential models to obtained the energy and total normalised wave function which are essential tools for determining various information entropies. However, not much research has been done on evaluation of information entropies within the relativistic quantum mechanics because of its complexities and existence of both multiple and quadratic eigenvalues for fixed quantum state ( n ) and orbital angular quantum number \((\ell )\) . In this work, we investigate Fisher information and Shannon entropy in three dimensional space within the relativistic regime by solving Klein-Gordon ( KG ) equation for equal scalar and vector potential with Schioberg plus Yukawa potential ( SPYP ) using the Parametric Nikiforov-Uvarov ( PNU ) method and compare the results to its nonrelativistic counterpart. It is important to note that the numerical solutions for the three dimensional Fisher information and Shannon entropy obtained for both the relativistic and nonrelativistic wave equations using SPYP adequately satisfies Bialynicki-Birula and Mycieslski (BBM) uncertainty inequality. The radial wave function, radial probability density, momentum space wave function and momentum probability density graphical plots were all obtained for both cases respectively. The numerical computations for Fisher information and Shannon entropy in three dimensional space were carried out for \(\ell = 0\) with different quantum states \(n= 0\) and 1. The investigation of Fisher information and Shannon entropy are relevance in describing localisation and delocalisation mechanism of particles in atomic orbitals within a potential well, relativistic confinement effect and entropy-energy correlation.

Entropic system in the relativistic Klein-Gordon Particle

C. A. Onate, M. C. Onyeaju

The solutions of Kratzer potential plus Hellmann potential was obtained under the Klein-Gordon equation via the parametric Nikiforov-Uvarov method. The relativistic energy and its corresponding normalized wave functions were fully calculated. The theoretic quantities in terms of the entropic system under the relativistic Klein-Gordon equation (a spinless particle) for a Kratzer-Hellmann’s potential model were studied. The effects of a and b respectively (the parameters in the potential that determine the strength of the potential) on each of the entropy were fully examined. The maximum point of stability of a system under the three entropies was determined at the point of intersection between two formulated expressions plotted against a as one of the parameters in the potential. Finally, the popular Shannon entropy uncertainty relation known as Bialynick-Birula, Mycielski inequality was deduced by generating numerical results.

Quantum Information and Energy Spectrum of the Ultra Generalized Exponential–Hyperbolic Potential via the Nikiforov–Uvarov Method

Etido Patrick Inyang, Jonathan Osang, Samuel Eyeh Mopta

This study presents a comprehensive investigation of quantum information measures for the one-dimensional Ultra Generalized Exponential–Hyperbolic Potential (UGEHP) within the framework of the Schrödinger equation. Analytical solutions for the energy eigenvalues and corresponding wave functions are obtained using the Nikiforov–Uvarov method. These solutions serve as the basis for evaluating Shannon entropy and Fisher information in both position and momentum spaces. The numerical results show that the total Shannon entropy satisfies the Beckner–Białynicki-Birula–Mycielski (BBM) inequality, while the Fisher information adheres to the Stam–Cramér–Rao bounds, thereby confirming consistency with fundamental quantum uncertainty principles. In addition, the energy spectrum exhibits a pronounced dependence on the screening parameter and quantum numbers, indicating the tunable confinement properties of the potential. The combined analysis establishes a clear connection between energy quantization, wavefunction localization, and information-theoretic measures, offering deeper insight into the effectiveness of the UGEHP model in describing complex quantum systems.

Fisher and Shannon information entropies for a noncentral inversely quadratic plus exponential Mie-type potential

I. B. Okon, Cecilia N. Isonguyo, Akaninyene Daniel Antia +2 more

Abstract In this work, we determine the Fisher and Shannon entropies, the expectation values and the squeeze state for a noncentral inversely quadratic plus exponential Mie-type potential analytically. The proposed potential is solved under the Schrödinger equation using a special Greene Aldrich approximation to the centrifugal term to obtain a normalised wave function within the framework of the Nikiforov–Uvarov method. Numerical results are obtained for different screening parameters: α = 0.1, 0.12 and 0.13 for varying real constant parameter (B). The numerical solutions are obtained only for ground state. The numerical results of Fisher entropy both for position and momentum spaces are in good agreement with existing literature. The normalisation constant, wave function, and probability density plots are carried out using a well designed Mathematica algorithm. The Fourier transform of position space entropy gives the momentum space entropy.

Theoretic quantum information entropies for the generalized hyperbolic potential

Akpan N. Ikot, Gaotsiwe Joel Rampho, P. O. Amadi +3 more

Abstract The Shannon entropy (S) and the Fisher Information (I) entropies are investigated for a generalized hyperbolic potential in position and momentum spaces. First, the Schrodinger equation is solved exactly using the Nikiforov‐Uvarov‐Functional Analysis method to obtain the energy spectra and the corresponding wave function. By Fourier transforming the position space wave function, the corresponding momentum wave function was obtained for the low‐lying states corresponding to the ground and first excited states. The positions and momentum of Shannon entropy and Fisher Information entropies were calculated numerically. Finally, the Bialynicki‐Birula and Mycielski and the Stam‐Cramer‐Rao inequalities for the Shannon entropy and Fisher Information entropies, respectively, were tested and were found to be satisfied for all cases considered.

The study of quantum information entropies is significant in quantum computation and signal analysis. Much research work has been carried out in quantum information entropies under nonrelativistic wave equation. However, not much research has been reported in evaluating quantum information entropies using relativistic wave equation. In this work, we evaluate Shannon information entropy in one-dimensional space with generalised Hulthen plus Coulomb potential (GHPCP) in Klein-Gordon equation using parametric Nikiforov-Uvarov method. The numerical computations obtained both for position and momentum spaces as well as the Shannon sum obeys Bialynicki-Birula and Mycieslski (BBM) uncertainty inequality in order to ascertain the degree of accuracy of the analytical and numerical calculation. This research has relevance in atomic and molecular physics especially in localisation and delocalisation of electrons or particle in atomic orbitals.
