We find that QFI can approach the Heisenberg scaling $N2$ with respect to the quantum number $N$, even when the probe system is prepared in a classical state.

- Abstract: We propose a quantum metrology protocol based on a two-step joint evolution of the probe system and an ancillary qubit and a single-shot projective measurement. With an optimized initialization of the ancillary qubit, the quantum Fisher information (QFI) about the phase parameter encoded in the probe system is found to be determined by the expectation value of the square of a time-optimized phase generator, independent of the probe state. Therefore, QFI can approach the Heisenberg scaling $N^2$ with respect to the quantum number $N$, even when the probe system is prepared in a classical state. We find that this scaling behavior is robust against the imperfections in preparing the ancillary qubit and controlling the evolution time. Using the time-reversal strategy, the classical Fisher information (CFI) in our metrology protocol is saturated with its quantum counterpart. Our work thus paves an economical way to realize the Heisenberg-scaling limit in metrology precision with no use of entanglement or squeezing.

Heisenberg scaling is an ultimate precision limit of parameter estimation allowed by the principles of quantum mechanics.
We show that interactions between the probes and an ancillary system may also increase the precision of parameter estimation to surpass the standard quantum limit.
Our protocol features in two aspects: (i) the Heisenberg scaling can be achieved by a product state of the probes, (ii) mere local measurement on the ancilla is sufficient.
