Quantum information entropies for solitonic systems

Particle with position-dependent mass is a useful concept in the context of semiconductor physics. We study a particle with the solitonic mass distribution in two different forms of potential: the quartic and the symmetric potential. We estimate the Shannon entropy and Fisher information associated with the ground state of particle in these two scenarioes by obtaining the wave-function from Zhu-Kroemer equation. The ground state of the particle in each case satisfies the Bialynicki-Birula-Mycielski inequality. Upon comparing all four models under consideration, we have observed that the Shannon entropy is greater for the solitonic mass distribution when it is subjected to a quartic potential.
