• Abstract: We use phase space distributions, specifically the Wigner and Husimi quasi probability distributions, to study harmonically trapped Bose--Einstein condensate described by the Gross Pitaevskii equation. From the mean field ground state wavefunction we construct both distributions and their position and momentum space marginals and we use these to compute a comprehensive set of information theoretic measures: Shannon, Wehrl, and Rényi entropies; Fisher information; cumulative and cross cumulative residual entropies; mutual information; and Kullback--Leibler, Jeffreys, Cauchy Schwarz, and Rényi divergences. Studying these quantities as a function of the $s$-wave scattering length for a representative Rb-85 condensate, we find that stronger repulsive interactions drive increased phase space delocalization, seen by a monotonic growth of Shannon and Wehrl entropies, while the Fisher information shows the complementary trend -- increasing in position space and decreasing in momentum space in a manner consistent with the global Fisher uncertainty bound. Rényi entropies and divergence measures further reveal a systematic suppression of non classical interference and a shift toward more classical phase space structure in moving from the Wigner to the Husimi representation, with Wigner and Husimi based mutual informations converging at larger interaction strength. We note that, because the Gross Pitaevskii framework treats the many body state as a mean field product, the mutual information computed here quantifies statistical dependence between the conjugate phase space variables of the effective one body distribution rather than genuine particle particle entanglement.
