• Authors: Karol Gietka, Lewis Ruks, and Thomas Busch
• Abstract summary: An improved critical quantum metrology protocol relies on quenching a system exhibiting a superradiant quantum phase transition beyond its critical point. We show that this approach can lead to an exponential increase of the quantum Fisher information in time. In this case an additional exponential enhancement of the quantum Fisher information can be observed with the number of atoms $N$ in the cavity.

• Abstract: We carefully examine critical metrology and present an improved critical quantum metrology protocol which relies on quenching a system exhibiting a superradiant quantum phase transition beyond its critical point. We show that this approach can lead to an exponential increase of the quantum Fisher information in time with respect to existing critical quantum metrology protocols relying on quenching close to the critical point and observing power law behaviour. We demonstrate that the Cram\'er-Rao bound can be saturated in our protocol through the standard homodyne detection scheme. We explicitly show its advantage using the archetypal setting of the Dicke model and explore a quantum gas coupled to a single-mode cavity field as a potential platform. In this case an additional exponential enhancement of the quantum Fisher information can in practice be observed with the number of atoms $N$ in the cavity, even in the absence of $N$-body coupling terms.

  A critical system near quantum phase transitions was predicted to be useful for improvement of metrological precision. We show how to encode the signal to some physical quantity of a critical system using critical behaviors in the Jaynes-Cummings model. We demonstrate such a metrological protocol in a superconducting circuit, where an Xmon qubit, interacting with a resonator, is used as a probe for estimating the amplitude of a microwave field.

  We introduce an approach combining two methodologies into a unified protocol applicable to closed and driven-dissipative systems. We provide analytical expressions for the quantum and classical Fisher information in such a setup, elucidating as well a straightforward measurement approach. We showcase these results by focusing on the squeezing Hamiltonian, which characterizes the thermodynamic limit of Dicke and Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick Hamiltonians.

The exponential advantage stems from the breakdown of the adiabatic condition close to a critical point.
