• Abstract summary: We study whether the phase estimation performance is improved significantly in noisy scenarios, involving the photon-loss and phase-diffusion cases. Our results show that in cases of photon loss and phase diffusion, the phase estimation performance of the QZZB can be improved remarkably by increasing the NLA gain factor. Our findings will provide an useful guidance for accomplishing more complex quantum information processing tasks.

• Abstract: In this work, we address the central problem about how to effectively find the available precision limit of unknown parameters. In the framework of the quantum Ziv-Zakai bound (QZZB), we employ noiseless linear amplification (NLA)techniques to an initial coherent state (CS) as the probe state, and focus on whether the phase estimation performance is improved significantly in noisy scenarios, involving the photon-loss and phase-diffusion cases. More importantly, we also obtain two kinds of Heisenberg error limits of the QZZB with the NLA-based CS in these noisy scenarios, making comparisons with both the Margolus-Levitin (ML) type bound and the Mandelstam-Tamm (MT) type bound. Our analytical results show that in cases of photon loss and phase diffusion, the phase estimation performance of the QZZB can be improved remarkably by increasing the NLA gain factor. Particularly, the improvement is more pronounced with severe photon losses. Furthermore in minimal photon losses, our Heisenberg error limit shows better compactness than the cases of the ML-type and MT-type bounds. Our findings will provide an useful guidance for accomplishing more complex quantum information processing tasks.

  We introduce Lindblad-like quantum tomography (L$ell$QT) as a quantum characterization technique of time-correlated noise in quantum information processors. We discuss L$ell$QT for the dephasing dynamics of single qubits in detail, which allows for a neat understanding of the importance of including multiple snapshots of the quantum evolution in the likelihood function.

  In the highly non-Gaussian regime, the quantum Ziv-Zakai bound (QZZB) provides a lower bound on the available precision. We show its estimation performance for several different Gaussian resources, such as a coherent state (CS), a single-mode squeezed vacuum state (SMSVS) and a two-mode squeezed vacuum state (TMSVS) Our results indicate that compared with the SMSVS and the TMSVS, the QZZB for the CS always shows the better estimation performance under the photon-loss environment.

  We present a study of crosstalk errors in a quantum-computing architecture based on a single string of ions confined by a radio-frequency trap, and manipulated by individually-addressed laser beams. This type of errors affects spectator qubits that, ideally, should remain unaltered during the application of single- and two-qubit quantum gates addressed at a different set of active qubits. We microscopically model crosstalk errors from first principles and present a detailed study showing the importance of using a coherent vs incoherent error modelling and, moreover, discuss strategies to actively suppress this crosstalk at the gate level.
