• Abstract: It has been demonstrated that the optimal sensitivity achievable with Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states is the same as that with uncorrelated probes in the frequency estimation in the presence of uncorrelated Markovian dephasing [S. F. Huelga, et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 79, 3865 (1997)]. Here, we extend this issue by examining the optimal frequency sensitivities achievable by the use of ancilla-assisted strategy, which has been proposed recently for robust phase estimation. We present the ultimate frequency sensitivities bounded by the quantum Fisher information for a general case in the presence of Markovian covariant phase noises, and the optimal measurement observables that can saturate the theoretical sensitivity bounds. We also demonstrate the effectiveness of the ancilla-assisted strategy for preserving frequency sensitivities suffering from specific physically ground noises.

• Heisenberg-limited metrology with coherent control on the probes' configuration [0.7614628596146599]
  Heisenberg scaling, a quadratic improvement over the limits of classical statistics, is notoriously fragile to noise. Here we show that this limitation can sometimes be lifted if the experimenter has the ability to probe physical processes in a coherent superposition. We provide a parallel protocol that achieves Heisenberg scaling with respect to the probes' energy, as well as a sequential protocol that achieves Heisenberg scaling with respect to the total probing time.
