Complexity of Nuclear States for 48Ca

In complex systems theory, there are different ways to describe a system in terms of information, such as emergence (Shannon entropy), self-organization, and com- plexity. These measures provide information about the dynamic behavior of a complex system. We study the differences in entropy and complexity for many-body systems undergoing a transition from a regular to a chaotic regime. To do this, we analyze the eigenvectors of the 48 Ca nucleus for different quadrupole-type two-body interactions. We obtain the eigenvectors by diagonalizing the two-body Hamiltonian for 48 Ca us- ing the Antoine code. We then calculate the entropy and complexity for the different quadrupole-type interactions. The differences found in information entropy and com- plexity are clear when comparing a regular system with a chaotic one. We find that the complexity of the regular and chaotic states of 48 Ca shows differences associated with its internal interactions.
