• Abstract: The Heisenberg limit provides a quadratic improvement over the standard quantum limit, and is the maximum quantum advantage that quantum sensors could provide over classical methods. This limit remains elusive, however, because of the inevitable presence of noise decohering quantum sensors. Namely, if infinite rounds of quantum error correction corrects any part of a quantum sensor's signal, a no-go result purports that the standard quantum limit scaling can not be exceeded. We side-step this no-go result by using an optimal finite number of rounds of quantum error correction and an adaptive procedure of signal recovery, such that even if part of the signal is corrected away, our quantum field sensing protocol's precision can approach the Heisenberg limit despite a linear rate of deletion errors. Our protocol is based on quantum error correction codes within the symmetric subspace, which admit near-term implementations using quantum control techniques.

  A test of quantumness is a protocol that allows a classical verifier to certify (only) that a prover is not classical. We show that tests of quantumness that follow a certain template, which captures recent proposals such as (Kalai et al., 2022) can in fact do much more. Namely, the same protocols can be used for certifying a qubit, a building-block that stands at the heart of applications such as certifiable randomness and classical delegation of quantum computation.

  Existing quantum error-correcting codes generally exploit entanglement between one probe and one noiseless ancilla of the same dimension. Here we construct two types of multi-probe quantum error-correcting codes, where the first one utilizes a negligible amount of ancillas and the second one is ancilla-free.

We show that in this scheme the quantum Fisher information, which quantifies the precision limit, can be efficiently obtained from a measurement signal of the Loschmidt echo. We experimentally implement the scheme on an ensemble of 10-spin quantum processor and successfully achieves a precision near the theoretical limit which outperforms the standard quantum limit with 12.4 dB.

  We propose a unified framework that can mitigate quantum gate and measurement errors in computing quantum expectation values. The essential idea is to cancel the effect of quantum error by approximating its inverse via linearly combining quantum errors of different orders. We test this framework for different quantum errors and find that the computation accuracy is substantially improved.

For every quantum channel $T$ and every $eps>0$ there exists a threshold $p(epsilon,T)$ for the gate error probability below which rates larger than $C-epsilon$ are fault-tolerantly achievable. Our results are relevant in communication over large distances, and also on-chip, where distant parts of a quantum computer might need to communicate under higher levels of noise.
