• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: The Heisenberg scaling is an ultimate precision limit of parameter estimation allowed by the principles of quantum mechanics, with no counterpart in the classical realm, and has been a long-pursued goal in quantum metrology. It has been known that interactions between the probes can help reach the Heisenberg scaling without entanglement. In this work, we show that interactions between the probes and the additional dimensions of an ancillary system may also increase the precision of parameter estimation to surpass the standard quantum limit and attain the Heisenberg scaling without entanglement, if the measurement scheme is properly designed. The quantum Fisher information exhibits periodic patterns over the evolution time, implying the existence of optimal time points for measurements that can maximize the quantum Fisher information. By implementing optimizations over the Hamiltonian, the initial states of the probes and the ancillary system, the interaction strength and the time points for measurements, our protocol achieves the Heisenberg scaling for the parameter of the probe Hamiltonian, in terms of both evolution time and probe number. 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, both of which reduce the quantum resources and the implementation complexity to achieve the Heisenberg scaling.
