• Abstract: Enhancing measurement precision in quantum systems is vital for advancing technologies like quantum sensing and communication. Traditionally, quantum Fisher information (QFI) has been the key tool in determining precision limits within Hermitian quantum systems. However, recent research has expanded to non-Hermitian systems exhibiting real spectra. This study investigates various interpretations of non-Hermitian quantum dynamics such as the normalization and metric approaches. We demonstrate that owing to distinct types of dynamic behaviour, QFI expressions vary significantly depending on the formalism. In particular, the normalization formalism overestimates the enhancement and/or revivals in QFI, effectively post-selecting the most optimistic case of the evolution, which may give an overly favourable impression of the sensitivity and accuracy of quantum measurements. The metric-based interpretation maintains consistency with a Hermitian-like structure, offering a more stable and conservative assessment of measurement precision. This approach provides a more natural representation of the system's evolution, enabling a more accurate assessment of quantum measurement sensitivity without the need for post-selection. We support our claims by focussing on QFI dynamics for a qubit system, while advocating the metric interpretation as a more reliable guide for quantum metrology despite presenting both approaches as valid and complementary ways of understanding non-Hermitian dynamics.
