• Title: New bounds on adaptive quantum metrology under Markovian noise
• Authors: Kianna Wan and Robert Lasenby
• Abstract summary: We analyse the problem of estimating a scalar parameter $g$ that controls the Hamiltonian of a quantum system subject to Markovian noise. We place bounds on the growth rate of the quantum Fisher information with respect to $g$, in terms of the Lindblad operators and the $g$-derivative of the Hamiltonian $H$. We demonstrate that the sensitivity is related to the quantum fluctuations of $partial H/partial g$, illustrating how 'non-classical' states can enhance the range of signals that a system is sensitive to.

• Abstract: We analyse the problem of estimating a scalar parameter $g$ that controls the Hamiltonian of a quantum system subject to Markovian noise. Specifically, we place bounds on the growth rate of the quantum Fisher information with respect to $g$, in terms of the Lindblad operators and the $g$-derivative of the Hamiltonian $H$. Our new bounds are not only more generally applicable than those in the literature -- for example, they apply to systems with time-dependent Hamiltonians and/or Lindblad operators, and to infinite-dimensional systems such as oscillators -- but are also tighter in the settings where previous bounds do apply. We derive our bounds directly from the stochastic master equation describing the system, without needing to discretise its time evolution. We also use our results to investigate how sensitive a single detection system can be to signals with different time dependences. We demonstrate that the sensitivity bandwidth is related to the quantum fluctuations of $\partial H/\partial g$, illustrating how 'non-classical' states can enhance the range of signals that a system is sensitive to, even when they cannot increase its peak sensitivity.

• Decoherence time in quantum harmonic oscillators as quantum memory systems [0.7252027234425334]
  This paper is concerned with open quantum harmonic oscillators (OQHOs) described by linear quantum differential equations. In a more realistic case of system-environment coupling, we define a memory decoherence horizon as a typical time for a mean-square deviation of the system variables. We consider the decoherence time over the energy and coupling matrix of the OQHO as a memory system in its storage phase and obtain a condition under which the zero Hamiltonian delivers a suboptimal solution.

  In two-level quantum systems - qubits - unitary dynamics theoretically limit these quantum correlations to $2qrt2$ or 1.5 respectively. Here, using a dissipative, trapped $40$Ca$+$ ion governed by a two-level, non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, we observe correlation values up to 1.703(4) for the Leggett-Garg parameter $K_3$. These excesses occur across the exceptional point of the parity-time symmetric Hamiltonian responsible for the qubit's non-unitary, coherent dynamics.
