Relative Fisher information in some central potentials
Abstract
Relative Fisher information (IR), which is a measure of correlative fluctuation between two probability densities, has been pursued for a number of quantum systems, such as, 1D quantum harmonic oscillator (QHO) and a few central potentials namely, 3D isotropic QHO, hydrogen atom and pseudoharmonic potential (PHP) in both position () and momentum () spaces. In the 1D case, the state is chosen as reference, whereas for a central potential, the respective circular or node-less (corresponding to lowest radial quantum number ) state of a given quantum number, is selected. Starting from their exact wave functions, expressions of IR in both and spaces are obtained in closed analytical forms in all these systems. A careful analysis reveals that, for the 1D QHO, IR in both coordinate spaces increase linearly with quantum number . Likewise, for 3D QHO and PHP, it varies with single power of radial quantum number in both spaces. But, in H atom they depend on both principal () and azimuthal () quantum numbers. However, at a fixed , IR (in conjugate spaces) initially advance with rise of and then falls off; also for a given , it always decreases with .
