• Abstract summary: We investigate the potential advantage of measuring all the parameter simultaneously compared to estimating them. In particular, for the problem of magnetic field sensing using $N$ entangled spin-$1/2$, we show that the predictions based purely on the Cram'er-Rao formalism may be overly pessimistic. The minimax approach reveals the superiority of measuring all the parameters jointly whereas the Cram'er-Rao approach indicates lack of such an advantage.

• Abstract: We discuss the Heisenberg limit in the multiparameter metrology within two different paradigms -- the one, where the measurement is repeated many times (so the Cram\'er-Rao bound is guaranteed to be asymptotically saturable) and the second one, where all the resources are allocated into one experimental realization (analyzed with the mimimax approach). We investigate the potential advantage of measuring all the parameter simultaneously compared to estimating them individually, while spending the same total amount of resources. We show that in general the existence of such an advantage, its magnitude and conditions under which it occurs depends on which of the two paradigms has been chosen. In particular, for the problem of magnetic field sensing using $N$ entangled spin-$1/2$, we show that the predictions based purely on the Cram\'er-Rao formalism may be overly pessimistic in this matter -- the minimax approach reveals the superiority of measuring all the parameters jointly whereas the Cram\'er-Rao approach indicates lack of such an advantage.

  We develop novel modifications of nearest-neighbor and matching estimators which converge at the parametric $sqrt n $-rate. We stress that our estimators do not involve nonparametric function estimators and in particular do not rely on sample-size dependent parameters smoothing.

• Multi-parameter quantum estimation of single- and two-mode pure Gaussian states [0.0]
  We derive the Holevo Cram'er-Rao bound (HCRB) for both displacement and squeezing parameter characterizing single and two-mode squeezed states. In the single-mode scenario, we obtain an analytical bound and find that it degrades monotonically as the squeezing increases. In the two-mode setting, the HCRB improves as the squeezing parameter grows and we show that it can be attained using double-homodyne detection.

  Heisenberg uncertainty principle prevents optimal measurements for incompatible parameters from being performed jointly. A criterion proposed for multi parameter estimation provides a possible way to beat this curse. A scheme involving high-order Hermite-Gaussian states as probes is proposed for estimating the spatial displacement and angular tilt of light.

We show that the space of all possible estimators combining LR and RP can be completely parameterized by a flow field. We prove that there cannot exist a single-sample estimator of this type outside our space, thus, clarifying where we should be searching for better Monte Carlo gradient estimators.
