• Abstract summary: We consider a fundamental setting of quantum sensing with imperfect clocks, where the duration of control pulses and the interrogation time are all subject to uncertainty. We design a control strategy and prove that it outperforms any control-free strategies, recovering the optimal Heisenberg scaling up to a small error term. Our finding confirms that the advantage of quantum control in quantum sensing persists even in the presence of imperfections.

• Abstract: Quantum control plays a crucial role in enhancing precision scaling for quantum sensing. However, most existing protocols require perfect control, even though real-world devices inevitably have control imperfections. Here, we consider a fundamental setting of quantum sensing with imperfect clocks, where the duration of control pulses and the interrogation time are all subject to uncertainty. Under this scenario, we investigate the task of frequency estimation in the presence of a non-Markovian environment. We design a control strategy and prove that it outperforms any control-free strategies, recovering the optimal Heisenberg scaling up to a small error term that is intrinsic to this model. We further demonstrate the advantage of our control strategy via experiments on a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) platform. Our finding confirms that the advantage of quantum control in quantum sensing persists even in the presence of imperfections.

We apply this framework to optimize two inherently dissipative operations in superconducting qubits. Our results show that, given a fixed set of system parameters, shaping the control pulses can yield 2x improvements in the fidelity and duration for both of these operations.

  Full observation of quantum state is experimentally infeasible due to the exponential scaling of the number of required quantum measurements on the number of qubits. This control scheme is compatible with near-term quantum devices, where the noise is prevalent. It has been shown that high-fidelity state control can be achieved even if the noise amplitude is at the same level as the control amplitude.
