Abstract: Shannon quantum information entropies

S_{h o, g a m m a}

, Fisher informations

I_{h o, g a m m a}

, Onicescu energies

O_{h o, g a m m a}

and complexities

e^{S} O

are calculated both in position (subscript

h o

) and momentum (

g a m m a

) spaces for azimuthally symmetric 2D nanoring that is placed into combination of transverse uniform magnetic field

and Aharonov-Bohm (AB) flux

p h i_{A B}

and whose potential profile is modeled by superposition of quadratic and inverse quadratic dependencies on radius

r

. Increasing intensity

B

flattens momentum waveforms

and in the limit of infinitely large fields they turn to zero, what means that the position wave functions

, which are their Fourier counterparts, tend in this limit to the

d e l t a

-functions. Position (momentum) Shannon entropy depends on the field

B

as a negative (positive) logarithm of

o m e g a_{e f f} e q u i v l e f t (o m e g a_{0}^{2} + o m e g a_{c}^{2} / 4 i g h t)^{1 / 2}

, where

o m e g a_{0}

determines the quadratic steepness of the confining potential and

o m e g a_{c}

is a cyclotron frequency. This makes the sum

{S_{h} o}_{n m} + {S_{g} a m m a}_{n m}

a field-independent quantity that increases with the principal

n

and azimuthal

m

quantum numbers and does satisfy entropic uncertainty relation. Position Fisher information does not depend on

m

, linearly increases with

n

and varies as

o m e g a_{e f f}

whereas its

n

and

m

dependent Onicescu counterpart

{O_{h} o}_{n m}

changes as

o m e g a_{e f f}^{- 1}

. The products

{I_{h} o}_{n m} {I_{g} a m m a}_{n m}

and

{O_{h} o}_{n m} {O_{g} a m m a}_{n m}

are

B

-independent quantities. A dependence of the measures on the ring geometry is discussed. It is argued that a variation of the position Shannon entropy or Onicescu energy with the AB field uniquely determines an associated persistent current as a function of

p h i_{A B}

at

B = 0

. An inverse statement is correct too.
