Rényi entropies characterizing the shape and the extension of the phase space representation of quantum wave functions in disordered systems

Abstract: We discuss some properties of the generalized entropies, called Rényi 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 differences are free from these divergences thus enabling them to be good candidates for the description of the extension and the shape of continuous distributions. We apply this formalism to the projection of wave functions onto the coherent state basis, i.e. to the Husimi repr… Show more

“…Before discussing the solutions of the Schroedinger equations associated to (22,23,24), our new hamiltonians deserve some comments. It is important to note that the solvability of the resulting Schroedinger equation for these hamiltonians resides completely on the existence of I (d) (which in this case means superintegrability).…”

“…For a revision of their properties see [38,39,40,41,42,43,44] and the reviews [45,46]. The Rényi entropies and their associated uncertainty relations have been widely used to investigate a great deal of quantum-mechanical properties and phenomena of physical systems and processes [29,45,46,44], ranging from the quantum-classical correspondence [47] and quantum entanglement [48] to pattern formation and Brown processes [49,50], fractality and chaotic systems [51,52], quantum phase transition [53] and disordered systems [54]. Moreover, the knowledge of these quantities allows us to reconstruct the corresponding probability density under certain conditions [41,55].…”
