Abstract: Information entropic measures such as Fisher information, Shannon entropy, Onicescu energy and Onicescu Shannon entropy of a symmetric double-well potential are calculated in both position and momentum space. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors of this system are obtained through a variation-induced exact diagonalization procedure. The information entropy-based uncertainty relation is shown to be a better measure than conventional uncertainty product in interpreting purely quantum mechanical phenomena, such as, tunneling and quantum confinement in this case. Additionally, the phase-space description provides a semiclassical explanation for this feature. Total information entropy and phase-space area show similar behavior with increasing barrier height.
