Abstract

Position–momentum correlation in the Moshinsky atom is studied by examining the mutual information between Wigner functions and position/momentum space densities, at the one- and two-particle levels. We show that this correlation is independent of the strength of the interparticle potential at the two-particle level. At the one-particle level, the correlation decreases as the potential is increased. Shannon entropies of one- and two-particle Wigner functions are also discussed as measures of the localization in phase-space distributions.
