• Authors: Xiao-Ming Lu and Xiaoguang Wang
• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: The quantum multiparameter estimation is very different from the classical multiparameter estimation due to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle in quantum mechanics. When the optimal measurements for different parameters are incompatible, they cannot be jointly performed. We find a correspondence relationship between the inaccuracy of a measurement for estimating the unknown parameter with the measurement error in the context of measurement uncertainty relations. Taking this correspondence relationship as a bridge, we incorporate Heisenberg's uncertainty principle into quantum multiparameter estimation by giving a tradeoff relation between the measurement inaccuracies for estimating different parameters. For pure quantum states, this tradeoff relation is tight, so it can reveal the true quantum limits on individual estimation errors in such cases. We apply our approach to derive the tradeoff between attainable errors of estimating the real and imaginary parts of a complex signal encoded in coherent states and obtain the joint measurements attaining the tradeoff relation. We also show that our approach can be readily used to derive the tradeoff between the errors of jointly estimating the phase shift and phase diffusion without explicitly parameterizing quantum measurements.

  Heisenberg uncertainty principle prevents optimal measurements for incompatible parameters from being performed jointly. A criterion proposed for multi parameter estimation provides a possible way to beat this curse. A scheme involving high-order Hermite-Gaussian states as probes is proposed for estimating the spatial displacement and angular tilt of light.
