- Abstract: Heisenberg scaling characterizes the ultimate precision of parameter
estimation enabled by quantum mechanics, which represents an important quantum
advantage of both theoretical and technological interest. Here, we study the
attainability of strong, global notions of Heisenberg scaling in the
fundamental problem of phase estimation, from a practical standpoint. A main
message of this work is an asymptotic noise "threshold" for global Heisenberg
scaling. We first demonstrate that Heisenberg scaling is fragile to noises in
the sense that it cannot be achieved in the presence of phase damping noise
with strength above a stringent scaling in the system size. Nevertheless, we
show that when the noise does not exceed this threshold, the global Heisenberg
scaling in terms of limiting distribution (which we highlight as a practically
important figure of merit) as well as average error can indeed be achieved.
Furthermore, we provide a practical adaptive protocol using one qubit only,
which achieves global Heisenberg scaling in terms of limiting distribution
under such noise.

Heisenberg scaling is an ultimate precision limit of parameter estimation allowed by the principles of quantum mechanics.
We show that interactions between the probes and an ancillary system may also increase the precision of parameter estimation to surpass the standard quantum limit.
Our protocol features in two aspects: (i) the Heisenberg scaling can be achieved by a product state of the probes, (ii) mere local measurement on the ancilla is sufficient.

quantum-dynamical scrambling [49.1574468325115]
A key conjecture about the evolution of complex quantum systems towards an ergodic steady state, known as scrambling, is that this process acquires universal features when it is most efficient.
We develop a single- parameter scaling theory for the spectral statistics in this scenario, which embodies exact self-similarity of the spectral correlations along the complete scrambling dynamics.
We establish that scaling predictions are matched by a privileged process, and serve as bounds for other dynamical scrambling scenarios, allowing one to quantify inefficient or incomplete scrambling on all timescales.

We identify corresponding optimal measurements and argue that even finite temperature as a source of decoherence is, in principle, rather favorable for the obtainable precision scaling.

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.
