• Abstract: Uncertainty relations in quantum mechanics express bounds on our ability to simultaneously obtain knowledge about expectation values of non-commuting observables of a quantum system. They quantify trade-offs in accuracy between complementary pieces of information about the system. In Quantum multiparameter estimation, such trade-offs occur for the precision achievable for different parameters characterizing a density matrix: an uncertainty relation emerges between the achievable variances of the different estimators. This is in contrast to classical multiparameter estimation, where simultaneous optimal precision is attainable in the asymptotic limit. We study trade-off relations that follow from known tight bounds in quantum multiparameter estimation. We compute trade-off curves and surfaces from Cram\'er--Rao type bounds which provide a compelling graphical representation of the information encoded in such bounds, and argue that bounds on simultaneously achievable precision in quantum multiparameter estimation should be regarded as measurement uncertainty relations. From the state-dependent bounds on the expected cost in parameter estimation, we derive a state independent uncertainty relation between the parameters of a qubit system.

  We find a correspondence relationship between the inaccuracy of a measurement for estimating the unknown parameter with the measurement error. For pure quantum states, this tradeoff relation is tight, so it can reveal the true quantum limits on individual estimation errors. We show that our approach can be readily used to derive the tradeoff between the errors of jointly estimating the phase shift and phase diffusion.
