• Abstract: The main challenge in multi-parameter quantum estimation lies in the incompatibility between optimal schemes for different parameters, which leads to nontrivial tradeoffs between the precision limits for estimating different parameters. Understanding and characterizing this tradeoff is essential in determining the ultimate precision limits in multi-parameter quantum estimation, making it a central topic in the field of quantum metrology. In this article, we present an approach that precisely quantifies the tradeoff resulting from incompatible optimal measurements in multi-parameter estimation. We derive a tight analytical tradeoff relation that determines the ultimate precision limits for estimating an arbitrary number of parameters encoded in pure quantum states. Additionally, we provide a systematic methodology for constructing optimal measurements that saturate this tight bound in an analytical and structured manner. To demonstrate the power of our findings, we applied our methodology to quantum radar, resulting in a refined Arthurs-Kelly relation that characterizes the ultimate performance for the simultaneous estimation of range and velocity. This showcases the transformative potential of our findings for many applications in quantum metrology.
