• Abstract: We analyse the precision limits for simultaneous estimation of a pair of conjugate parameters in a displacement channel using Gaussian probes. Having a set of squeezed states as an initial resource, we compute the Holevo Cram\'er-Rao bound to investigate the best achievable estimation precisions if only passive linear operations are allowed to be performed on the resource prior to probing the channel. The analysis reveals the optimal measurement scheme and allows us to quantify the best precision for one parameter when the precision of the second conjugate parameter is fixed. To estimate the conjugate parameter pair with equal precision, our analysis shows that the optimal probe is obtained by combining two squeezed states with orthogonal squeezing quadratures on a 50:50 beam splitter. If different importance are attached to each parameter, then the optimal mixing ratio is no longer 50:50. Instead it follows a simple function of the available squeezing and the relative importance between the two parameters.

  We propose a new perspective on parameterization by investigating a key assumption in prior work. Our empirical investigation includes tens of thousands of models trained with all combinations of threes. We find that the best learning rate scaling prescription would often have been excluded by the assumptions in prior work.

We show numerically that there is a strict gap between the previous efficiently computable bounds and the ultimate precision bound.

  We discuss an approach based on a machine learning technique, where the parameters for the numerical calculations are chosen from Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) This approach does not only quickly converge to an optimal parameter set, but in addition provides information about the complete parameter space. We find that indeed the GPR gives reliable results which are in agreement with direct calculations of these parameters using quantum chemical methods.

  We show that simultaneous optimal estimation for both parameters can be attained with a simple collective measurement strategy. We show that when the state is nearly pure, for sufficiently but not arbitrarily large $N$, most information will be captured in the largest three $j$-subspaces. We also obtain numerical results that suggest that using a Bell multiport setup, one can distinguish between projection onto the $j=N/2$ and $j=N/2-1 subspaces.
