The effect of atomic motion and two-quanta JCM on the information entropy

We study the interaction between a moving two-level atom and a single-mode field. The coupled atom-cavity system with atomic center-of-mass motion included is modeled by considering the dependence of the atomic motion along z-axis. At exact resonance between the internal atomic transition and the cavity eigenfrequency, an exact solution of the system is obtained and periodically modulated Rabi oscillations and regular translational motion are observed. We focused on the dynamics of both field Wehrl entropy and Wehrl phase distribution. The influence of the atomic motion on the evolution of von Neumann entropy and Wehrl entropy is examined. The results show that the atomic motion and the field-mode structure play important roles in the evolution of the von Neumann entropy, Wehrl entropy and Wehrl PD.     

The atomic Wehrl entropy of a <Emphasis Type="Italic">V</Emphasis>-type three-level atom interacting with two-mode squeezed vacuum state

We study the interaction of a V-type three-level atom with a two-mode field through the two-photon interaction when the atom is initially in the upper state and the initial field is in the two-mode squeezed vacuum state. The influence of the atomic motion on the evolution of the atomic Q-function and atomic Wehrl entropy is examined. The results show that the atomic motion and the mode structure play important roles in the evolution of the atomic Q-function, atomic Wehrl entropy, and marginal atomic Wehrl entropy.     

Onicescu information energy in terms of Shannon entropy and Fisher information densities

Following recent studies concerning the use of information theory in electronic structure theory of atomic and molecular systems, an analytical relationship between Onicescu information energy and densities of Shannon entropy and the two forms of the Fisher information has been presented. The established proof must be viewed in the light of the exponentially decaying nature of the asymptotic density of atoms and molecules.     

The Fisher information measure and Shannon entropy for particulate matter measurements

We investigated the dynamics of particulate matter data, recorded in Tito, a small industrial area of southern Italy. The analysis of these signals was performed using the Fisher information measure (FIM), which is a powerful tool for investigating complex and nonstationary signals, and the Shannon entropy, which is a well-known tool for investigating the degree of disorder in dynamical systems. Our results point to an increase of disorder and complexity from fine to coarse particulates.     

Power spectrum and Fisher–Shannon information plane analysis of tidal records

The time dynamics of tidal fluctuations measured in three sites in Bahia Blanca Estuary (central Argentina), Ingeniero White, Puerto Belgrano and Torre Mareografica, are analyzed. To investigate the time series of the tidal waves we used two different approaches: the power spectral density (PSD) and the Fisher–Shannon (FS) information plane. The PSD permitted: (i) the identification of diurnal, semi-diurnal and higher frequency cycles in all the three tidal signals, and (ii) the detection of two different dynamical regimes (scaling and white-noise), involving respectively timescales lower and higher than about 2–2.5 days. The FS method, which allows to gain insight into the complex structure of a time series, quantifying its degree of organization and order, was applied to the residual tidal series (after removing the main cycles) and permitted to identify a period of low organization in the tidal signal measured at Puerto Belgrano.     

Entropy,Fisher Information and Variance with Frost-Musulin Potenial

This study presents the Shannon and Renyi information entropy for both position and momentum space and the Fisher information for the position-dependent mass Schrödinger equation with the Frost-Musulin potential. The analysis of the quantum mechanical probability has been obtained via the Fisher information. The variance information of this potential is equally computed. This controls both the chemical properties and physical properties of some of the molecular systems. We have observed the behaviour of the Shannon entropy. Renyi entropy, Fisher information and variance with the quantum number n respectively.     

Quantum Fisher information and spin squeezing in one-axis twisting model

We investigate the dependence of the average parameter estimation precision （APEP）, which is defined by the quantum Fisher information, on the polar angle of the initial coherent spin state ｜θ0,φ0〉 in a one-axis twisting model. Jin et al. [New J. Phys. 11 （2009） 073049] found that the spin squeezing sensitively depends on the polar angle θ0 of the initial coherent spin state. We show explicitly that the APEP is robust to the initial polar angle θ0 in the vicinity of π/2 and a near- Heisenberg limit 2IN in quantum single-parameter estimation may still be achieved for states created with the nonlinear evolution of the nonideal coherent spin states θ0- π/2. Based on this model, we also consider the effects of the collective dephasing on spin squeezing and the APEE     

Shannon entropies and Fisher information of K-shell electrons of neutral atoms

We represent the two K-shell electrons of neutral atoms by Hylleraas-type wave function which fulfils the exact behavior at the electron–electron and electron-nucleus coalescence points and, derive a simple method to construct expressions for single-particle position- and momentum-space charge densities, $\rho (\mathit{r})$ and $\gamma (\mathit{p})$ respectively. We make use of the results for $\rho (\mathit{r})$ and $\gamma (\mathit{p})$ to critically examine the effect of correlation on bare (uncorrelated) values of Shannon information entropies (S) and of Fisher information (F) for the K-shell electrons of atoms from helium to neon. Due to inter-electronic repulsion the values of the uncorrelated Shannon position-space entropies are augmented while those of the momentum-space entropies are reduced. The corresponding Fisher information are found to exhibit opposite behavior in respect of this. Attempts are made to provide some plausible explanation for the observed response of S and F to electronic correlation.     

Fisher information for endohedrally confined hydrogen atom

Electron localization and delocalization of endohedrally confined hydrogen atom has been investigated employing Fisher information theory. Confinement has been modeled using a spherical Gaussian-type potential. B-spline bases expansion method was used to solve the Schrödinger equation to obtain the required energy eigenvalues and the corresponding wave functions. Changes in energies with depths of potential are explained using Hellmann-Feynman theorem. The behavior of Fisher information against the confining potential depths and positions are demonstrated. Moreover, our results show that Fisher information is an effective way to measure the localization of valence electrons.

Fisher information due to a phase noisy laser under non-Markovian environment

More recently, K. Berrada [Annals of Physics 340 (2014) 60-69] [1] studied the geometric phase of a two-level atom system driven by a phase noise laser under non-Markovian dynamics in terms of different parameters involved in the whole system, and collapse and revival phenomena were found for large class of states. In this paper, using this noise effect, we study the quantum fisher information (QFI) for a two-level atom system driven by a phase noise laser under non-Markovian dynamics. A new quantity, called QFI flow is used to characterize the damping effect and unveil a fundamental connection between non-Markovian behavior and dynamics of system–environment correlations under phase noise laser. It is shown that QFI flow has disappeared suddenly followed by a sudden birth depending on the kind of the environment damping. QFI flow provides an indicator to characterize the dissipative quantum system’s decoherence by analyzing the behavior of the dynamical non-Markovian coefficients.     

Weighted Fisher informations, their derivation and use

Fisher information has been used to derive many laws of physics, including its differential equations. In many of these Fisher-based derivations the information in the time measurement is required to be negative. Yet by its expression in the standard derivation of the Cramer-Rao (CR) inequality, a negative Fisher seems impossible. To the contrary, we show that in fact the standard CR derivation allows the Fisher to be meaningfully regarded as either negative or positive. The mathematics allow it, and the choice to be made depends upon the physical parameter whose information level is sought. For example, the rules of special relativity require an imaginary time parameter ict, , with c the speed of light and t the time. The squared time parameter is then negative, requiring (as shown) the Fisher information to be negative as well. Further generalizations of the CR derivation are also made, which allow the estimation of general parameters using arbitrarily weighted mean-squared error criteria. The weights are found to define a family of correspondingly weighted Fisher informations. Finally, a condition is found for achieving efficient estimation in the presence of any weight function.     

Chaos and quantum Fisher information in the quantum kicked top

Quantum Fisher information is related to the problem of parameter estimation.Recently,a criterion has been proposed for entanglement in multipartite systems based on quantum Fisher information.This paper studies the behaviours of quantum Fisher information in the quantum kicked top model,whose classical correspondence can be chaotic.It finds that,first,detected by quantum Fisher information,the quantum kicked top is entangled whether the system is in chaotic or in regular case.Secondly,the quantum Fisher information is larger in chaotic case than that in regular case,which means,the system is more sensitive in the chaotic case.     

Fisher information description of the classical-quantal transition

We investigate the classical limit of the dynamics of a semiclassical system that represents the interaction between matter and a given field. The concept of Fisher Information measure (F) on using as a quantifier of the process, we find that it adequately describes the transition, detecting the most salient details of the changeover. Used in conjunction with other possible information quantifiers, such as the Normalized Shannon Entropy (H) and the Statistical Complexity (C) by recourse to appropriate planar representations like the Fisher Entropy (F×H) and Fisher Complexity (F×C) planes, one obtains a better visualization of the transition than that provided by just one quantifier by itself. In the evaluation of these Information Theory quantifiers, we used the Bandt and Pompe methodology for the obtention of the corresponding probability distribution.     

de Broglie’s wave hypothesis from Fisher information

Seeking the unknown dynamics obeyed by a particle gives rise to the de Broglie wave representation, without the need for physical assumptions specific to quantum mechanics. The only required physical assumption is conservation of momentum μ. The particle, of mass m, moves through free space from an unknown source-plane position a to an unknown coordinate x in an aperture plane of unknown probability density p_X(x), and then to an output plane of observed position y=a+z. There is no prior knowledge of the probability laws or , with the particle momentum at the source. It is desired to (i) optimally estimate a, in the sense of a maximum likelihood (ML) estimate. The estimate is further optimized, by minimizing its error through (ii) maximizing the Fisher information about a that is received at y. Forming the ML estimate requires (iii) estimation of the likelihood law p_Z(z), which (iv) must obey positivity. The relation p_Z(z)≡|u(z)|²≥0 satisfies this. The same u(z) conveniently defines the Fisher channel capacity, a concept central to the principle of Extreme physical information (EPI). Its output u(z) achieves aims (i)-(iv). The output is parametrized by a free parameter K. For a choice K=0, the result is u(z)=δ(z), indicating classical motion. Or, for a finite, empirical choice K=? (Planck’s constant), u(z) obeys the familiar de Broglie representation as the Fourier transform of the particle’s probability amplitude function P(μ) on momentum μ. For a definite momentum μ,u(z) becomes a sinusoid of wavelength λ=h/μ, the de Broglie result.     

Subjective modelling of supply and demand—the minimum of Fisher information solution

Two of the present authors have put forward a projective geometry based model of rational trading that implies a model for subjective demand/supply profiles if one considers closing of a position as a random process. We would like to present the analysis of a subjectivity in such trading models. In our model, the trader gets the maximal profit intensity when the probability of transaction is ∼0.5853. We also present a comparison with the model based on the Maximum of Entropy Principle. To the best of our knowledge, this is one of the first analyses that show a concrete situation in which trader profit optimal value is in the class of price-negotiating algorithms (strategies) resulting in non-monotonic demand (supply) curves of the Rest of the World (a collective opponent). Our model suggests that there might be a new class of rational trader strategies that (almost) neglects the supply-demand profile of the market. This class emerges when one tries to minimize the information that strategies reveal.     

Discrete Versions of Jensen–Fisher,Fisher and Bayes–Fisher Information Measures of Finite Mixture Distributions

In this work, we first consider the discrete version of Fisher information measure and then propose Jensen–Fisher information, to develop some associated results. Next, we consider Fisher information and Bayes–Fisher information measures for mixing parameter vector of a finite mixture probability mass function and establish some results. We provide some connections between these measures with some known informational measures such as chi-square divergence, Shannon entropy, Kullback–Leibler, Jeffreys and Jensen–Shannon divergences.     

Information quantifiers’ description of weak field vs. strong field dynamics for a trapped ion in a laser field

By recourse to information-theory tools, we study aspects of the dynamics of the interaction between a single trapped ion with a laser field. Despite its simplicity the model we use exhibits a broad range of intricate physical effects that are clearly detected by information quantifiers like Wherl’s entropy and Fisher’s measure. In particular, a sensible dynamical difference between single vs. multi-photon processes is detected.     

Fisher information,Rényi entropy power and quantum phase transition in the Dicke model

Fisher information, Rényi entropy power and Fisher–Rényi information product are presented for the Dicke model. There is a quantum phase transition in this quantum optical model. It is pointed out that there is an abrupt change in the Fisher information, Rényi entropy power, the Fisher, Shannon and Rényi lengths at the transition point. It is found that these quantities diverge as the characteristic length: |_λc−λ|^−1/4${|{\lambda }_c-\lambda |}^{-1/4}$ around the critical value of the coupling strength _λc${\lambda }_c$ for any value of the parameter β$\beta$.
