- Abstract: We quantize the ModMax oscillator, which is the dimensional reduction of the
Modified Maxwell theory to one spacetime dimension. We show that the propagator
of the ModMax oscillator satisfies a differential equation related to the
Laplace equation in cylindrical coordinates, and we obtain expressions for the
classical and quantum partition functions of the theory. To do this, we develop
general results for deformations of quantum mechanical theories by functions of
conserved charges. We show that canonical quantization and path integral
quantization of such deformed theories are equivalent only if one uses the
phase space path integral; this gives a precise quantum analogue of the
statement that classical deformations of the Lagrangian are equivalent to those
of the Hamiltonian.

We introduce a quantum version for the statistical complexity measure, in the context of quantum information theory, and use it as a signalling function of quantum order-disorder transitions.
We apply our measure to two exactly solvable Hamiltonian models, namely: the $1D$-Quantum Ising Model and the Heisenberg XXZ spin-$1/2$ chain.
We also compute this measure for one-qubit and two-qubit reduced states for the considered models, and analyse its behaviour across its quantum phase transitions for finite system sizes as well as in the thermodynamic limit by using Bethe ansatz.
