• Title: Multiparameter estimation for qubit states with collective measurements: a case study
• Authors: Yink Loong Len
• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: Quantum estimation involving multiple parameters remains an important problem of both theoretical and practical interest. In this work, we study the problem of simultaneous estimation of two parameters that are respectively associate with the length and direction of the Bloch vector for identically prepared qubit states that is confined to a plane, where in order to obtain the optimal estimation precision for both parameters, collective measurements on multiple qubits are necessary. Upon treating $N$ qubits as an ensemble of spin-1/2 systems, we show that simultaneous optimal estimation for both parameters can be attained asymptotically with a simple collective measurement strategy -- first, we estimate the length parameter by measuring the populations in spaces corresponding to different total angular momentum values $j$, then we estimate the direction parameter by performing a spin projection onto an optimal basis. Furthermore, 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. Then, we study how the total angular-momentum measurement can be realized by observing output signatures from a Bell multiport setup, either exactly for $N=2,3$, or approximately when the qubits are nearly pure for other $N$ values. 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 from their respective interference signatures at the output.

  We study a sensor made by an array of $d$ spatially-distributed Mach-Zehnder interferometers (MZIs) We show that local measurements, independently performed on each MZI, are sufficient to provide a sensitivity saturating the quantum Cram'er-Rao bound. We find that the $d$ independent interferometers can achieve the same sensitivity of the entangled protocol but at the cost of using additional $d$ non-classical states.

We show that it can allow for parameter estimation at the Heisenberg limit of $(N(M-1)T)2$, where $N$ is the number of particles, $M$ is the number of modes, and $T$ is the measurement time.

  In a ubiquitous $SU(2)$ dynamics, achieving the simultaneous optimal estimation of multiple parameters is difficult.

Our work reveals that quantum control is not always functional in improving the estimation precision.

  We study the number of gates needed for the distribution over measurement outcomes for typical circuit instances to be anti-concentrated. Our definition of anti-concentration is that the expected collision probability is only a constant factor larger than if the distribution were uniform. In both the case where the gates are nearest-neighbor on a 1D ring and the case where gates are long-range, we show $O(n log(n)) gates are also sufficient.

  Projection robust (PR) OT seeks to maximize the OT cost between two measures by choosing a $k$-dimensional subspace onto which they can be projected. Our first contribution is to establish several fundamental statistical properties of PR Wasserstein distances. Next, we propose the integral PR Wasserstein (IPRW) distance as an alternative to the PRW distance, by averaging rather than optimizing on subspaces.
