• Abstract: We explore the task of learning about the dynamics of a Markovian open quantum system by monitoring the information it radiates into its environment. For an open system with Hilbert space dimension $D$, the quantum state of the emitted radiation can be described as a temporally ordered matrix-product state (MPS). We provide simple analytical expressions for the quantum Fisher information (QFI) of the radiation state, which asymptotically scales linearly with the sensing time unless the open system has multiple steady states. We characterize the crossovers in QFI near dynamical phase transitions, emphasizing the role of temporal correlations in setting the asymptotic rate at which QFI increases. We discuss when optimal sensing is possible with instantaneously measured radiation.

  We introduce an approach combining two methodologies into a unified protocol applicable to closed and driven-dissipative systems. We provide analytical expressions for the quantum and classical Fisher information in such a setup, elucidating as well a straightforward measurement approach. We showcase these results by focusing on the squeezing Hamiltonian, which characterizes the thermodynamic limit of Dicke and Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick Hamiltonians.

  We introduce the Q-information: an information-theoretic measure capable of distinguishing quantum states dominated by synergy or redundancy. We show that quantum systems need at least four variables to exhibit high-order properties. Overall, the Q-information sheds light on novel aspects of the internal organisation of quantum systems and their time evolution.

  This study proposes a reciprocal research direction: probing quantum systems themselves through their information processing performance. Building upon this concept, here we develop quantum reservoir probing (QRP), an inverse extension of the Quantum Reservoir Computing (QRC) paradigm. Unifying quantum information and quantum matter, the QRP holds great promise as a potent tool for exploring various aspects of quantum many-body physics.
