• Abstract: Conventional multiparameter quantum sensing relies on joint estimation, but this approach faces two key limitations: theoretical bounds may be unattainable due to measurement incompatibility, and sensing may fail due to parameter interdependencies. We propose stepwise estimation and identify regimes where it outperforms joint estimation. For multiple quantum sensors, this scheme achieves far lower error bounds than joint estimation. With many-body probes, stepwise sensing retains a quantum-enhanced scaling advantage often lost in joint estimation due to parameter correlations. We demonstrate its concrete advantages through Bayesian implementations across diverse examples.

  We find a correspondence relationship between the inaccuracy of a measurement for estimating the unknown parameter with the measurement error. For pure quantum states, this tradeoff relation is tight, so it can reveal the true quantum limits on individual estimation errors. We show that our approach can be readily used to derive the tradeoff between the errors of jointly estimating the phase shift and phase diffusion.
