• Abstract: Multiphase estimation is a paradigmatic example of a multiparameter problem. When measuring multiple phases embedded in interferometric networks, specially-tailored input quantum states achieve enhanced sensitivities compared with both single-parameter and classical estimation schemes. Significant attention has been devoted to defining the optimal strategies for the scenario in which all of the phases are evaluated with respect to a common reference mode, in terms of optimal probe states and optimal measurement operators. As well, the strategies assume unlimited external resources, which is experimentally unrealistic. Here, we optimize a generalized scenario that treats all of the phases on an equal footing and takes into account the resources provided by external references. We show that the absence of an external reference mode reduces the number of simultaneously estimatable parameters, owing to the immeasurability of global phases, and that the symmetries of the parameters being estimated dictate the symmetries of the optimal probe states. Finally, we provide insight for constructing optimal measurements in this generalized scenario. The experimental viability of this work underlies its immediate practical importance beyond fundamental physics.

  Annealed Importance Sampling (AIS) is a popular algorithm used to estimates the intractable marginal likelihood of deep generative models. We present a parameteric AIS process with flexible intermediary distributions and optimize the bridging distributions to use fewer number of steps for sampling. We assess the performance of our optimized AIS for marginal likelihood estimation of deep generative models and compare it to other estimators.

  We investigate the potential advantage of measuring all the parameter simultaneously compared to estimating them. In particular, for the problem of magnetic field sensing using $N$ entangled spin-$1/2$, we show that the predictions based purely on the Cram'er-Rao formalism may be overly pessimistic. The minimax approach reveals the superiority of measuring all the parameters jointly whereas the Cram'er-Rao approach indicates lack of such an advantage.

• Leveraging Global Parameters for Flow-based Neural Posterior Estimation [90.21090932619695]
  Inferring the parameters of a model based on experimental observations is central to the scientific method. A particularly challenging setting is when the model is strongly indeterminate, i.e., when distinct sets of parameters yield identical observations. We present a method for cracking such indeterminacy by exploiting additional information conveyed by an auxiliary set of observations sharing global parameters.

We show that this results in an exponential-family distribution whose sufficient statistics are the features, paralleling maximum-entropy approaches in supervised learning.
