Abstract

We examine how the informational properties of a confined single ion response in a Paul trap modified by optical-lattice. We focus on the ground and first excited motional states and show that Fisher information, Shannon entropy, and Fisher-Shannon complexity track the effective frequency [Formula: see text] of the potential. We show that the Fisher information and Shannon entropy reflect an effective frequency-driven redistribution of information between conjugate spaces. Our result show that the Fisher-Shannon complexity measure remains invariant under effective frequency control. The invariance demonstrates that optical modulation of κ rescales localization, without altering the harmonic structure of the motional states. These results establish a controlled information-theoretic baseline for lattice-assisted Paul traps. Beyond the harmonic limit, retaining the quartic lattice correction introduces non-Gaussian wavefunction features through state-dependent mixing of higher eigenstates, which breaks the mutual compensation between Fisher information and Shannon entropy that sustains the invariant. The departure of [Formula: see text] from its harmonic reference value intensifies with κ and is stronger for the excited state, which confirms that the Fisher-Shannon complexity invariance is a distinctive property of the small-oscillation harmonic regime.
