• Abstract: A quantum system is usually measured through observations performed on a second quantum system, or meter, to which it is coupled. In this scenario, fundamental limitations arise as stated by the celebrated Wigner-Araki-Yanase theorem and its generalizations, predicting an upper-bound on the measurement's accuracy (Ozawa's bound). Here, we show it is possible to saturate this fundamental bound. We propose a simple interferometric setup, arguably within reach of present technology, in which a flying particle (the quantum meter) is used to measure the state of a qubit (the target system). We show that the bound can be saturated and that this happens only if the flying particle is prepared in a Gaussian wavepacket.

• Symmetry: a fundamental resource for quantum coherence and metrology [0.0]
  We show that when the quantum state is an eigenstate of an operator $A$, observables $G$ which are completely off-diagonal have purely quantum fluctuations. This property holds regardless of the purity of the quantum state, and it implies that off-diagonal fluctuations represent a metrological resource for phase estimation.

  We study the operation of a quantum-classical time-series algorithm on a present-day quantum computer. Specifically, we measure the Loschmidt amplitude for the Fermi-Hubbard model on a $16$-site ladder geometry (32 orbitals) on the Quantinuum H2-1 trapped-ion device. We numerically analyze the influence of noise on the full operation of the quantum-classical algorithm by measuring expectation values of local observables at finite energies.

  Using entangled quantum states, it is possible to scale the precision with $N$ better than when resources would be used independently. I derive bounds on the precision of the estimation for the case of noiseless unitary evolution. I analyze the problem of the Heisenberg limit when multiple parameters are measured simultaneously on the same physical system.

Our results extend to the moderate deviation regime, which are the optimal rates when the trace distances vanish at sub-exponential speed.
