- Abstract: Quantum state estimation is a fundamental task in quantum information theory, where one estimates real parameters continuously embedded in a family of quantum states. In the theory of quantum state estimation, the widely used Cram\'er Rao approach which considers local estimation gives the ultimate precision bound of quantum state estimation in terms of the quantum Fisher information. However practical scenarios need not offer much prior information about the parameters to be estimated, and the local estimation setting need not apply. In general, it is unclear whether the Cram\'er-Rao approach is applicable for global estimation instead of local estimation. In this paper, we find situations where the Cram\'er-Rao approach does and does not work for quantum state estimation problems involving a family of bosonic states in a non-IID setting, where we only use one copy of the bosonic quantum state in the large number of bosons setting. Our result highlights the importance of caution when using the results of the Cram\'er-Rao approach to extrapolate to the global estimation setting.

Mean value estimation of observables is an essential subroutine in quantum computing algorithms.
The quantum estimation theory identifies the ultimate precision of such an estimator, which is referred to as the quantum Cram'er-Rao (QCR) lower bound or equivalently the inverse of the quantum Fisher information.
We propose a quantum-enhanced mean value estimation method in a depolarizing noisy environment that saturates the QCR bound in the limit of a large number of qubits.

Quantum scale estimation establishes the most precise framework for the estimation of scale parameters that is allowed by the laws of quantum mechanics.
The new framework is exploited to generalise scale-invariant global thermometry, as well as to address the estimation of the lifetime of an atomic state.
On a more conceptual note, the optimal strategy is employed to construct an observable for scale parameters, an approach which may serve as a template for a more systematic search of quantum observables.
