Narrow Results

In this letter, we propose a novel information-geometric characterization of chaotic (integrable) energy level statistics of a quantum antiferromagnetic Ising spin chain in a tilted (transverse) external magnetic field. Finally, we conjecture our results might find some potential physical applications in quantum energy level statistics.

We investigate the effect of different metrizations of probability spaces on the information geometric complexity of entropic motion on curved statistical manifolds. Specifically, we provide a comparative analysis based upon Riemannian geometric properties and entropic dynamical features of a Gaussian probability space where the two distinct dissimilarity measures between probability distributions are the Fisher–Rao information metric and the $\alpha$-order entropy metric. In the former case, we observe an asymptotic linear temporal growth of the information geometric entropy (IGE) together with a fast convergence to the final state of the system. In the latter case, instead, we note an asymptotic logarithmic temporal growth of the IGE together with a slow convergence to the final state of the system. Finally, motivated by our findings, we provide some insights on a tradeoff between complexity and speed of convergence to the final state in our information geometric approach to problems of entropic inference.
