• Abstract: Phase transitions represent a compelling tool for classical and quantum sensing applications. It has been demonstrated that quantum sensors can in principle saturate the Heisenberg scaling, the ultimate precision bound allowed by quantum mechanics, in the limit of large probe number and long measurement time. Due to the critical slowing down, the protocol duration time is of utmost relevance in critical quantum metrology. However, how the long-time limit is reached remains in general an open question. So far, only two dichotomic approaches have been considered, based on either static or dynamical properties of critical quantum systems. Here, we provide a comprehensive analysis of the scaling of the quantum Fisher information for different families of protocols that create a continuous connection between static and dynamical approaches. In particular, we consider fully-connected models, a broad class of quantum critical systems of high experimental relevance. Our analysis unveils the existence of universal precision-scaling regimes. These regimes remain valid even for finite-time protocols and finite-size systems. We also frame these results in a general theoretical perspective, by deriving a precision bound for arbitrary time-dependent quadratic Hamiltonians.

• Achieving Heisenberg scaling by probe-ancilla interaction in quantum metrology [0.0]
  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.
