• Abstract: Measurement estimation bounds for local quantum multiparameter estimation, which provide lower bounds on possible measurement uncertainties, have so far been formulated in two ways: by extending the classical Cram\'er--Rao bound (e.g., the quantum Cram\'er--Rao bound and the Nagaoka Cram'er--Rao bound) and by incorporating the parameter estimation framework with the uncertainty principle, as in the Lu--Wang uncertainty relation. In this work, we present a general framework that allows a direct comparison between these different types of estimation limits. Specifically, we compare the attainability of the Nagaoka Cram\'er--Rao bound and the Lu--Wang uncertainty relation, using analytical and numerical techniques. We show that these two limits can provide different information about the physically attainable precision. We present an example where both limits provide the same attainable precision and an example where the Lu--Wang uncertainty relation is not attainable even for pure states. We further demonstrate that the unattainability in the latter case arises because the figure of merit underpinning the Lu--Wang uncertainty relation (the difference between the quantum and classical Fisher information matrices) does not necessarily agree with the conventionally used figure of merit (mean squared error). The results offer insights into the general attainability and applicability of the Lu--Wang uncertainty relation. Furthermore, our proposed framework for comparing bounds of different types may prove useful in other settings.

  We study the role of probe dimension in determining the bounds of precision in quantum estimation problems. We also critically examine the performance of the so-called incompatibility (AI) in characterizing the difference between the Holevo-Cram'er-Rao bound and the Symmetric Logarithmic Derivative (SLD) one.

• Fundamental bounds for parameter estimation with few measurements [0.0]
  We discuss different linear (Barankin-like) conditions that can be imposed on estimators and analyze when these conditions admit an optimal estimator with finite variance. We show that, if the number of imposed conditions is larger than the number of measurement outcomes, there generally does not exist a corresponding estimator with finite variance. We derive an extended Cram'er-Rao bound that is compatible with a finite variance in situations where the Barankin bound is undefined.

  We find a correspondence relationship between the inaccuracy of a measurement for estimating the unknown parameter with the measurement error. For pure quantum states, this tradeoff relation is tight, so it can reveal the true quantum limits on individual estimation errors. We show that our approach can be readily used to derive the tradeoff between the errors of jointly estimating the phase shift and phase diffusion.
