• Abstract summary: More quantum Fisher information can be obtained with the priori information than that without the priori information. The simultaneous estimation of two temperatures is proved to satisfy the saturation condition of quantum Cram'er bound. Using the full Hermite-Gauss basis can saturate the quantum Cram'er bound without being affected by the attenuation factor at the maximum diffraction.

• Abstract: We investigate the ultimate quantum limit of resolving the temperatures of two thermal sources affected by the diffraction. More quantum Fisher information can be obtained with the priori information than that without the priori information. We carefully consider two strategies: the simultaneous estimation and the individual estimation. The simultaneous estimation of two temperatures is proved to satisfy the saturation condition of quantum Cram\'{e}r bound and performs better than the individual estimation in the case of small degree of diffraction given the same resources. However, in the case of high degree of diffraction, the individual estimation performs better. In particular, at the maximum diffraction, the simultaneous estimation can not get any information, which is supported by a practical measurement, while the individual estimation can still get the information. In addition, we find that for the individual estimation, a practical and feasible estimation strategy by using the full Hermite-Gauss basis can saturate the quantum Cram\'{e}r bound without being affected by the attenuation factor at the maximum diffraction. using the full Hermite-Gauss basis can saturate the quantum Cram\'er bound without being affected by the attenuation factor at the maximum diffraction.

  We formulate a passive quantum detector based on a quantum hypothesis testing framework under the setting of finite sample size. Under the assumption that the attacker adopts separable optimal strategies, we derive that the worst-case average error bound converges to zero exponentially. We adopt our formulations upon a case study of detection with quantum radars.

  We first derive a no-go result stating that any non-adaptive measurement strategy will fail to exploit quantum critical enhancement. We then consider different adaptive strategies that can overcome this no-go result. Our results show that adaptive strategies with real-time feedback control can achieve sub-shot noise scaling.

• Precision in estimating Unruh temperature [0.0]
  We consider the question of the estimation of the Unruh temperature in the scenario of relativistic quantum metrology. A single detector interacting with a scalar quantum field undergoes an uniform acceleration for a finite amount of proper time. We consider two initially entangled detectors, one of which is inertial while the other one undergoes acceleration. Our results show that the maximum of the Fisher information, thus characterizing the maximum possible precision according to Cramm'er-Rao bound, occurs only for small accelerations.
