• Abstract: We find that a quantum device having an accessory involving precision measurement can have an enhancement of its metrological precision in estimating an unknown parameter of the quantum system by insertion of glassy disorder, accidental or engineered. We clearly mention how an unbiased estimator can also be identified in a disordered situation, and how the precision thereof can be bounded by the quantum Cr{\'a}mer-Rao inequality. We compare the Fisher information-based lower bound of the minimum standard deviation of an unbiased estimator, in presence of glassy disorder in the system, with the same of an ideal, viz. disorder-free, situation. The phenomenon can boost the efficiency of certain measuring devices, such as atomic clocks. The precision of these clocks, when measuring time, hinges on the precise determination of the frequency of a two-level atom. In cases where impurities are present in the atom, and can be modeled as a disorder parameter, it is possible for the measurement of frequency to be more accurate than in an ideal, disorder-free scenario. Moreover, disorder insertion can reduce the requirement of entanglement content of the initial probes, which are copies of two-qubit states, along with providing a disorder-induced enhancement.
