Abstract

Description

An information measure inspired by Onicescu's information energy and Uffink's information measure (recently discussed by Brukner and Zeilinger) are calculated as functions of the number of particles $N$ for fermionic systems (nuclei and atomic clusters) and correlated bosonic systems (atoms in a trap). Our results are compared with previous ones obtained for Shannon's information entropy, where a universal property was derived for atoms, nuclei, atomic clusters and correlated bosons. It is indicated that Onicescu's and Uffink's definitions are finer measures of information entropy than Shannon's.
