High Dimensional Atomic States of Hydrogenic Type: Heisenberg-like and Entropic Uncertainty Measures
1Departamento de Física Atómica, Molecular y Nuclear, Universidad de Granada, 18071 Granada, Spain.
Abstract:
High dimensional atomic states play a relevant role in a broad range of quantum fields, ranging from atomic and molecular physics to quantum technologies. The D-dimensional hydrogenic system (i.e., a negatively-charged particle moving around a positively charged core under a Coulomb-like potential) is the main prototype of the physics of multidimensional quantum systems. In this work, we review the leading terms of the Heisenberg-like (radial expectation values) and entropy-like (Rényi, Shannon) uncertainty measures of this system at the limit of high D. They are given in a simple compact way in terms of the space dimensionality, the Coulomb strength and the state's hyperquantum numbers. The associated multidimensional position-momentum uncertainty relations are also revised and compared with those of other relevant systems.
