Quantum information measures of the Aharonov-Bohm ring in uniform magnetic fields
Abstract
Shannon quantum information entropies , Fisher informations , Onicescu energies and complexities are calculated both in position (subscript ) and momentum () spaces for azimuthally symmetric 2D nanoring that is placed into combination of transverse uniform magnetic field and Aharonov-Bohm (AB) flux and whose potential profile is modeled by superposition of quadratic and inverse quadratic dependencies on radius . Increasing intensity flattens momentum waveforms and in the limit of infinitely large fields they turn to zero, what means that the position wave functions , which are their Fourier counterparts, tend in this limit to the -functions. Position (momentum) Shannon entropy depends on the field as a negative (positive) logarithm of , where determines the quadratic steepness of the confining potential and is a cyclotron frequency. This makes the sum a field-independent quantity that increases with the principal and azimuthal quantum numbers and does satisfy entropic uncertainty relation. Position Fisher information does not depend on , linearly increases with and varies as whereas its and dependent Onicescu counterpart changes as . The products and are -independent quantities. A dependence of the measures on the ring geometry is discussed. It is argued that a variation of the position Shannon entropy or Onicescu energy with the AB field uniquely determines an associated persistent current as a function of at . An inverse statement is correct too.
