The entropic moments of the probability density of a quantum system in position and momentum spaces describe not only some fundamental and/or experimentally accessible quantities of the system, but also the entropic uncertainty measures of…
The R\'enyi and Shannon entropies are information-theoretic measures which have enabled to formulate the position-momentum uncertainty principle in a much more adequate and stringent way than the (variance-based) Heisenberg-like relation.…
Quantum mechanical uncertainty relations for position and momentum are expressed in the form of inequalities involving the Renyi entropies. The proof of these inequalities requires the use of the exact expression for the (p,q)-norm of the…
A Gedanken experiment is described to explore a counter-intuitive property of quantum mechanics. A particle is placed in a one-dimensional infinite well. The barrier on one side of the well is suddenly removed and the chamber dramatically…

Momentum space entanglement entropy probes quantum correlations in interacting fermionic phases. It is very sensitive to interactions, obeying volume-law scaling in general, while vanishing in the Fermi gas. We show that the R\'enyi entropy…
We show that the R\'enyi entropies of single particle, extended wave functions for disordered systems contain information about the multifractal spectrum. It is shown for moments of the R\'enyi entropy, $S_{n}$, where $|n|<1$, it is…

We discuss some properties of the generalized entropies, called Renyi entropies and their application to the case of continuous distributions. In particular it is shown that these measures of complexity can be divergent, however, their…
This paper explores some applications of a two-moment inequality for the integral of the $r$-th power of a function, where $0 < r< 1$. The first contribution is an upper bound on the R\'{e}nyi entropy of a random vector in terms of the two…
It has long been conjectured that the entropy of quantum fields across boundaries scales as the boundary area. This conjecture has not been easy to test in spacetime dimensions greater than four because of divergences in the von Neumann…
The universal mechanism of trapping and localization of sufficiently slow-speed particles by a potential well deepening with time is established on the basis of fundamental relations of classical mechanics. Such wells may be created for a…
We investigate the large-time asymptotics of nonlinear diffusion equations $u_t = \Delta u^p$ in dimension $n \ge 1$, in the exponent interval $p > n/(n+2)$, when the initial datum $u_0$ is of bounded second moment. Precise rates of…
Since their introduction in the early sixties, the R\'enyi entropies have been used in many contexts, ranging from information theory to astrophysics, turbulence phenomena and others. In this note, we enlighten the main connections between…
The R\'enyi entropies of Coulomb systems $R_{p}[\rho], 0 < p < \infty$ are logarithms of power functionals of the electron density $\rho(\vec{r})$ which quantify most appropriately the electron uncertainty and describe numerous physical…
