- Abstract: Linear optics provides versatile means to simulate and control the dynamics
of open quantum systems. Here, the polarization and frequency of photons often
represent the system and its environment, respectively. Recently, the photon's
path degree of freedom and the effects of interference have been considered as
well, giving rise to the concept of "open system interference". Such models
have been shown to beat traditional parameter estimation schemes in certain
scenarios. In this work, we study the sensitivity of non-Markovian memory
effects arising from an open system Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Our protocol
provides an alternative way to get around the quantum Cram\'er-Rao theorem,
proving itself a noteworthy option for more conventional parameter estimation
protocols.

Cat states with their unique phase-space interference properties are ideal candidates for understanding quantum mechanics.
They are highly susceptible to photon loss, which inevitably diminishes their quantum non-Gaussian features.
Here, we protect these non-Gaussian features by compressing the phase-space distribution of a cat state.

We show that adaptive methods can be used to enhance the precision of quantum phase estimation when noisy non-entangled qubits are used as sensors.
We benchmark these schemes with respect to scenarios that include Gaussian and Random Telegraph fluctuations.
We discuss their robustness against noise in connection with real experimental setups such as Mach-Zehnder interferometry with optical photons and Ramsey interferometry in trapped ions.
