• Abstract: The electron hopping between the two sites in a lattice is of fundamental importance in condensed matter physics. Precise control of the hopping strength allows for the prospect of manipulating the properties of electronic materials, such as topological properties, superconductivity, etc. In this framework, measuring the hopping strength of an electronic lattice with high precision is perhaps the most relevant step in controlling the properties of electronic materials. Here, we design a critical quantum metrological protocol to measure the hopping strength in a cavity electronic chain coupling system featuring a pseudo-superradiant phase transition. We show that the cavity ground state, which is initially a squeezed vacuum state, can be utilized as a quantum probe to achieve a high quantum precision of the hopping strength, which can be optimally saturated in either the loss or lossless case. Remarkably, in the presence of chain loss, we find that increasing the electron current in the chain is beneficial for enhancing precision, and the arbitrarily large precision could be obtained by increasing the chain size, in principle. Our results provide an effective method to measure the hopping strength in the electronic chain with high precision, so it has potential applications in critical quantum metrology, condensed matter physics, etc.
