Fisher-Information Geometry Linking Schrodinger Dynamics, Bipartite Correlations, and Decoherence
Abstract
Fisher information appears in quantum theory in two mathematically distinct settings: as a classical probability functional in variational reconstructions of Schrodinger dynamics and as the quantum Fisher metric of parameterized density operators. Here we examine how far these roles can be connected without identifying the two objects. Starting from a Hamilton-Jacobi ensemble action, we recover the Fisher term that generates the quantum potential and isolate its contribution to the kinetic-energy expectation. We then analyze the quantum Fisher information matrix (QFIM) of bipartite states. For any pure two-qubit state, the optimized magnitude of the off-diagonal QFIM element for normalized local generators equals the concurrence, while a collective phase generator yields FQ = 4 C^2. Extending the optimized pure-state quantity by a convex roof gives an exact identity with Wootters concurrence for arbitrary mixed two-qubit states. This differs from evaluating the QFIM directly on a mixed density operator: for Werner states the raw optimized cross-QFIM is 2 p^2/(1 + p) and remains nonzero inside the separable region. The gap between the raw and convex-roof quantities therefore isolates, for this family, correlation geometry not captured by entanglement. Finally, in a two-path interferometer with a which-way marker, the optimal phase Fisher information available from local output statistics is I_phi^opt = V^2. These results place probability-gradient energy, bipartite correlation geometry, entanglement, and decoherence-induced loss of local phase sensitivity in a common mathematical setting while preserving the distinctions between classical Fisher information, QFIM geometry, Bell nonlocality, and global phase quantization.
