  2. (Classical) Quantum Metrology Atomic Spectroscopy: “Phase” Estimation N two-levelatoms (qubits) in a separable state unitary rotation output state (separable) uncorrelated measurement – POVM: independent processes unbiased estimator with shot noise always saturablein the limit N → ∞ Quantum Fisher Information (measurement independent) Classical Fisher Information

  3. Quantum Fisher Information • QFI of a pure state : • QFI of a mixed state : • Evaluation requires eigen-decomposition of the density matrix, which size grows exponentially, e.g. d=2N for Nqubits. • Geometric interpretation – QFI is a local quantity • The necessity of the asymptotic limit of repetitions N → ∞ is a consequence of locality. • Purification-based definition of the QFI – Symmetric Logarithmic Derivative Two PDFs : Two q. states : [Escher et al, Nat. Phys. 7(5), 406 (2011)] – [Fujiwara & Imai, J. Phys. A 41(25), 255304 (2008)] –

  4. (Ideal) Quantum Metrology Atomic Spectroscopy: “Phase” Estimation GHZ state unitary rotation output state measurement on all probes: estimator: repeating the procedure k times • Atoms behave as a “single object” with N times greater phase change generated (same for the N00N state and photons). • N → ∞ is not enough to achieve the ultimate precision. “Real” resources are kNand in theory we require k → ∞. Heisenberg limit • A source of uncorrelated decoherenceacting independentlyon each atom will “decorrelate” the atoms, so that we may attain the ultimate precision in the N → ∞ limit with k = 1, but at the price of scaling …

  5. (Realistic) Quantum Metrology Atomic Spectroscopy: “Phase” Estimation with dephasingnoise added: In practise need to optimize for particular model and N optimal pure state distorted unitary rotation mixed output state complexity of computation grows exponentially with N estimator measurement on all probes • Observations • Infinitesimal uncorrelated disturbance forces asymptotic (classical) shot noise scaling. • The bound then “makes sense” for a single shot (k = 1). • Does this behaviour occur for decoherence of a generic type ? constant factor improvement over shot noise achievable with k = 1and spin-squeezed states The properties of the single use of a channel – – dictate the asymptotic ultimate scaling of precision.

  6. Efficient tools for determining d lower-bounding • In order of their power and range of applicability: • Classical Simulation (CS) method • Stems from the possibility to locally simulate quantum channelsvia classical probabilistic mixtures: • Optimal simulation corresponds to a simple, intuitive, geometric representation. • Proves that almost all (including full rank) channels asymptotically scale classically. • Allows to straightforwardly derive bounds (e.g. dephasing channel considered). • Quantum Simulation (QS) method • Generalizes the concept of local classical simulation, so that the parameter-dependent state does not need to be diagonal: • Proves asymptotic shot noise also for a wider class of channels (e.g. optical interferometer with loss). • Channel Extension (CE) method • Applies to evenwider class of channels, and provides the tightestlower bounds on . (e.g. amplitude damping channel) • Efficiently calculable numerically by means of Semi-Definite Programmingeven for finite N!!!.

  11. The ”Worst” Classical Simulation The set of quantum channels (CPTP maps) is convex Locality: Quantum Fisher Information at a given : depends only on: We want to construct the ”local classical simulation” of the form: The ”worst” local classical simulation: Doesnot work for -extremal channels, e.gunitaries .

  17. Conclusions • Classically, for separable input states, the ultimate precision is bound to shotnoisescaling 1/√N, which can be attained in a single experimental shot (k=1). • For lossless unitary evolution highly entangled input states (GHZ, N00N) allow for ultimate precision that follows the Heisenberg scaling 1/N, but attaining this limit may in principle require infinite repetitions of the experiment (k→∞). • The consequences of the dehorence acting independently on each particle: • The Heisenbergscaling is lost and only a constant factor quantum enhancement over classical estimation strategies is allowed. • (?) The optimal input states in the N → ∞ limit achieve the ultimate precision in a single shot (k=1) and are of a simpler form: • spin-squeezed atomic - [Ulam-Orgikh, Kitagawa, Phys. Rev. A 64, 052106 (2001)]squeezed light states in GEO600 - [Demkowicz-Dobrzanski et al, Phys. Rev. A 88, 041802(R) (2013)]. • However, finding the optimal formof input states is still an issue. Classical scaling suggests local correlations: • Gaussian states – [Monras & Illuminati, Phys. Rev. A 81, 062326 (2010)]MPS states – [Jarzyna et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. 110, 240405 (2013)].

  18. Conclusions • We have formulated three methods: Classical Simulation, Quantum Simulation and Channel Extension; that may efficiently lower-bound the constant factor of the quantum asymptotic enhancement for a generic channel by properties of its single use form(Kraus operators). • The geometrical CS methodproves the cQ/√N for all full-rank channelsand more (e.g. dephasing). • The CE method may also be applied numerically for finite Nas a semi-definite program. • After allowing the form of channel to depend on N, what is achieved by the (exprimentally-motivated) single experimental-shot time period (t) optimisation, we establish a channel that, despite being full-rank for any finite t, achieves the ultimate super-classical1/N5/6 asymptotic – the transversal dephasing.Application to atomic magnetometry: [Wasilewski et al, Phys.
