Renyi and Tsallis entropies of the Aharonov-Bohm ring in uniform magnetic fields

ORAL

Abstract

One-parameter functionals of the Renyi Rρ(α) and Tsallis Tρ(α) types are calculated in the position (subscript ρ) and momentum (γ) spaces for the 2D nanoring placed into the combination of the uniform magnetic field B and the AB flux ΦAB. Ring potential is modelled by the superposition of the quadratic and inverse quadratic dependencies on the radius r. Position (momentum) Renyi entropy depends on B as a negative (positive) logarithm of ωeff=02c2/4)1/2 , where ω0 determines the quadratic steepness of the confining potential and ωc is a cyclotron frequency. This makes the sum Rρnm(α)+Rγnm(α/(2α-1)) a field-independent quantity that increases with the principal n and azimuthal m quantum numbers and satisfies corresponding uncertainty relation. In the limit α->1 both entropies in either space tend to their Shannon counterparts along, however, different paths. Analytic expression for the lower boundary of the semi-infinite range of the dimensionless coefficient α where the momentum entropies exist reveals that it depends on the ring geometry, ΦAB and m. There is the only orbital for which both uncertainty relations turn into the identity at α=1/2 and which is not necessarily the lowest-energy level. At any coefficient α, the Rρ-ΦAB curve mimics the energy variation with ΦAB.
