Abstract

Analytic representation of both position as well as momentum waveforms of the two-dimensional (2D) circular quantum dots with the Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions (BCs) allowed an efficient computation in either space of Shannon SS, R\'{e}nyi R(α)R(\alpha) and Tsallis T(α)T(\alpha) entropies, Onicescu energies OO and Fisher informations II. It is shown that a transition to the 2D geometry lifts the 1D degeneracy of the position components SρS_\rho, OρO_\rho, Rρ(α)R_\rho(\alpha). Among many other findings, it is established that the lower limit αTH\alpha_{TH} of the semi-infinite range of the dimensionless R\'{e}nyi/Tsallis coefficient where one-parameter momentum entropies exist is equal to 2/5 for the Dirichlet requirement and 2/3 for the Neumann one. Since their 1D counterparts are 1/41/4 and 1/21/2, respectively, this simultaneously reveals that this critical value crucially depends not only on the position BC but the dimensionality of the structure too. As the 2D Neumann threshold αTHN\alpha_{TH}^N is greater than one half, its R\'{e}nyi uncertainty relation for the sum of the position and wave vector components Rρ(α)+Rγ(α2α1)R_\rho(\alpha)+R_\gamma\left(\frac{\alpha}{2\alpha-1}\right) is valid in the range [1/2,2)[1/2,2) only with its logarithmic divergence at the right edge whereas for all other systems it is defined at any coefficient α\alpha not smaller than one half. For both configurations, the lowest-energy level at α=1/2\alpha=1/2 does saturate R\'{e}nyi and Tsallis entropic inequalities. Other properties are discussed and analyzed from the mathematical and physical points of view.
