Published Jul 16, 2025• 2 citations

Abstract

Fisher information (FI) and Shannon entropy (SP), as fundamental theoretical constructs, play crucial roles in quantum information, offering significant insights into communication systems. This work addresses the radial Schrödinger equation for a cotangent hyperbolic potential, solved using the parametric Nikiforov–Uvarov method. The derived wave functions are utilized to explore FI and SP within a one-dimensional system. The analysis focuses on the influence of the screening parameter and potential depth on these quantities, examining their behavior for the ground state and the first excited state. The study complies with key theoretical principles, including the Cramer–Rao inequality, the Beckner-Bialynicki-Birula-Mycielski (BBM) inequality, and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. The results shed light on the dynamics of quantum states, emphasizing the relationship between quantum uncertainties and information measures. Significant variations in FI and SP emerge with changes in the screening parameter and potential depth, enhancing the understanding of quantum mechanics in confined systems. The findings also reveal the phenomenon of entropy squeezing, underscoring the complex nature of quantum uncertainties. The model demonstrates realistic behavior, with distinct transition points in SP as a function of potential depth, highlighting unique and intriguing characteristics. These contributions enrich the theoretical framework for investigating quantum systems, providing valuable perspectives on their intricate behaviors.

Fisher information and Shannon entropy under the cotangent hyperbolic potential model

B. B. Deji-Jinadu, C. A. Onate, O. O. Ajani

A Schrödinger equation is solved for a cotangent hyperbolic potential using the elegant parametric Nikiforov–Uvarov method. The results obtained are used to calculate the Fisher information for position space and momentum space as well as the Shannon entropy for position space and momentum space at the ground state. The energies of the cotangent potential are observed to be fully bounded for different quantum states. The Fisher information satisfied the Fisher relation known as Cramer–Rao inequality for the Fisher product. Its result also obeyed the Heisenberg principle as its alternative for uncertainty measurement. However, the Shannon entropy only satisfied the Bialynick-Birula, Mycielski inequality for higher values of the screening parameter. Its relation to the Heisenberg principle failed as both the position space and the momentum space are parallel with high entropy squeezing. This potential has not been reported for any system to the best of our understanding.

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.

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.

Abstract This study investigates the impact of spatial confinement and the Hellmann potential on the Shannon entropy of a hydrogenic atom. A hydrogenic atom screened by the Hellmann potential and confined within an impenetrable spherical potential is analyzed.

How the confinement radius and the screening parameter affect these entropies is investigated, and the results are compared to those of unconstrained systems. The findings are contrasted with previously reported results and discussed in relation to the Beckner–Bialynicki–Birula–Mycielski (BBM) inequality, offering insights into the behavior of quantum states under confinement.

COMPUTATIONAL ANALYSIS OF INFORMATION-THEORETIC MEASURES AND OSCILLATOR STRENGTHS IN QUANTUM SYSTEMS VIA THE NIKIFOROV–UVAROV METHOD

Etido Patrick Inyang, P.O. Okoi, I. M. Nwachukwu

This study investigates Fisher and Shannon entropies in one- and three-dimensional systems under the Radial Scalar Power Potential. Using the Nikiforov–Uvarov method combined with the Greene–Aldrich approximation, we derived energy eigenvalues and normalized wavefunctions. The results demonstrate that Shannon and Fisher entropies satisfy fundamental quantum information inequalities, including the Białynicki–Birula–Mycielski and Stam–Cramér–Rao bounds, across different spatial dimensions. Rényi entropy was also analyzed in both position and momentum spaces, revealing its dependence on the screening parameter and highlighting the complementarity in measurement precision between conjugate domains. In particular cases, the Radial Scalar Power Potential reduces to the Kratzer potential, allowing the computation of energy spectra for methylidyne (CH) and nitrogen (N₂) molecules. Energy increases with angular momentum, affecting molecular stability and spectroscopic transitions, while calculated oscillator strengths are in agreement with previous results, thereby validating the Radial Scalar Power Potential model for applications in both quantum information theory and molecular spectroscopy.
