Legendre-transform structure derived from quantum theorems

By recourse to (i) the Hellmann–Feynman theorem and (ii) the virial one, the information-optimizing principle based on Fisher’s information measure uncovers a Legendre-transform structure associated with Schrödinger’s equation, in close analogy with the structure that lies behind the standard thermodynamical formalism. The present developments provide new evidence for the information theoretical links based on Fisher’s measure that exist between Schrödinger’s equation, on the one hand, and thermodynamics/thermostatistics on the other hand.
