We introduce ratio estimators which, at infinite cost of doubling the resources, are insensitive to noise and retain the precision scaling of standard ones.

• Abstract: We consider entanglement-assisted frequency estimation by Ramsey interferometry, in the presence of dephasing noise from spatiotemporally correlated environments.By working in the widely employed local estimation regime, we show that even for infinite measurement statistics, noise renders standard estimators biased or ill-defined. We introduce ratio estimators which, at the cost of doubling the required resources, are insensitive to noise and retain the asymptotic precision scaling of standard ones. While ratio estimators are applicable also in the limit of Markovian noise, we focus on non-Markovian dephasing from a bosonic bath and show how knowledge about the noise spectrum may be used to maximize metrological advantage, by tailoring the sensor's geometry. Notably, Heisenberg scaling is attained up to a logarithmic prefactor by maximally entangled states.

  fidelity estimation for entangled states is an essential building block for quality control and error detection in quantum networks. Quantum networks often encounter heterogeneous and correlated noise, leading to excessive uncertainty in the estimated fidelity. This paper proposes a credible interval for fidelity that is valid in the presence of general noise.

  It is widely assumed that the optimal noise distribution should be made equal to the data distribution, as in Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) We turn to Noise-Contrastive Estimation which grounds this self-supervised task as an estimation problem of an energy-based model of the data. We soberly conclude that the optimal noise may be hard to sample from, and the gain in efficiency can be modest compared to choosing the noise distribution equal to the data's.

  Fluctuations of the qubit frequencies are one of the major problems to overcome on the way to scalable quantum computers. The statistics of the fluctuations can be characterized by measuring the correlators of the outcomes of periodically repeated Ramsey measurements. This work suggests a method that allows describing qubit dynamics during repeated measurements in the presence of evolving noise.

  We study the Ramsey estimation precision attainable by entanglement-enhanced interferometry in the presence of correlatedly non-classical noise. In a paradigmatic case of spin-boson dephasovian noise from a thermal environment, we find that it is possible to suppress, on average, the effect of correlations by randomizing the location of probes.

It has been empirically observed that the choice of the noise distribution is crucial for NCE's performance. In this work, we formally pinpoint reasons for NCE's poor performance when an inappropriate noise distribution is used.

  Noise in gradient descent provides a crucial implicit regularization effect for training over parameterized models. We show that parameter-dependent noise -- induced by mini-batches or label perturbation -- is far more effective than Gaussian noise. Our analysis reveals that parameter-dependent noise introduces a bias towards local minima with smaller noise variance, whereas spherical Gaussian noise does not.
