• Abstract: We derive lower bounds on the variance of estimators in quantum metrology by choosing test observables that define constraints on the unbiasedness of the estimator. The quantum bounds are obtained by analytical optimization over all possible quantum measurements and estimators that satisfy the given constraints. We obtain hierarchies of increasingly tight bounds that include the quantum Cram\'er-Rao bound at the lowest order. In the opposite limit, the quantum Barankin bound is the variance of the locally best unbiased estimator in quantum metrology. Our results reveal generalizations of the quantum Fisher information that are able to avoid regularity conditions and identify threshold behavior in quantum measurements with mixed states, caused by finite data.

  A revolutionary step in computation is driven by quantumness or quantum correlations, which are permanent in entanglements but often in separable states. The exact quantification of quantumness is an NP-hard problem; thus, we consider alternative approaches to approximate it. We show that the objective value decreases along the flow by proofs and numerical results.

  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.
