Summary • Heisenberg scalingislost for a genericdecoherence channel even for infinitesimalnoise • Simple bounds on precision can be derivedusingtheclassicalsimulationidea • In caseclassicalsimulationdoes not work, chanelextensionmethodcan be used – less intuitive but powerful (implementable as a simplesemi-definiteprogram!)
