abstract
We introduce the semiclassical Wehrl entropy for the nucleon as a measure of complexity of the multiparton configuration in phase space. This gives a new perspective on the nucleon tomography. We evaluate the entropy in the small-$x$ region and compare with the quantum von Neumann entropy. We also discuss the growth of entropy at small-$x$ and argue that it eventually saturates due to the Pomeron loop effect.

A relative-entropy method with a minimum-relative-entropy hypothesis reproduces quark nPDF shapes from global fits and indicates that EPPS21 gluon central values align more closely with the hypothesis than nNNPDF3.0.
