• Abstract: When using infinite-dimensional probes (such as a bosonic mode), one could in principle obtain infinite precision when estimating some physical parameters. This is unphysical, as it would require infinite resources, so one needs to impose some additional constraint: typically the average energy employed by the probe is finite. Here we treat both energy and time as a resource, showing that, in the presence of noise, there is a nontrivial interplay between the average energy and the time devoted to the estimation. Our results are valid for the most general metrological schemes (e.g. adaptive schemes which may involve entanglement with external ancillae). We apply recently derived precision bounds for all parameters characterizing the paradigmatic case of a bosonic mode, subject to Linbladian noise. We show how the time employed in the estimation should be partitioned in order to achieve the best possible precision. In most cases, the optimal performance may be obtained without the necessity of adaptivity or entanglement with ancilla. We compare results with optimal classical strategies. Interestingly, for temperature estimation, applying a fast-prepare-and-measure protocol with Fock states provides better scaling with the number of photons than any classical strategy.

  We study the issue of the optimal probe incompatibility in the simultaneous estimation of multiple parameters in generic noisy channels. In particular, we show that in lossy multiple arm interferometry the probe incompatibility is as strong as in the noiseless scenario. We introduce the concept of emphrandom quantum sensing and show how the tools developed may be applied to multiple channel discrimination problems.
