• Abstract: Presence of harmful noise is inevitable in entanglement-enhanced sensing systems, requiring careful allocation of resources to optimize sensing performance in practical scenarios. We advocate a simple but effective strategy to improve sensing performance in the presence of noise. Given a fixed number of quantum sensors, we partition the preparation of GHZ states by preparing smaller, independent sub-ensembles of GHZ states instead of a GHZ state across all sensors. We perform extensive analytical studies of the phase estimation performance when using partitioned GHZ states under realistic noise -- including state preparation error, particle loss during parameter encoding, and sensor dephasing during parameter encoding. We derive simple, closed-form expressions that quantify the optimal number of sub-ensembles for partitioned GHZ states. We also examine the explicit noisy quantum sensing dynamics under dephasing and loss, where we demonstrate the advantage from partitioning for maximal QFI, short-time QFI increase, and the sensing performance in the sequential scheme. The results offer quantitative insights into the sensing performance impact of different noise sources and reinforce the importance of resource allocation optimization in realistic quantum applications.

We find that regardless of the details of the entangling operation implemented in the VQC, the optimal quantum states can be broadly classified into a trio of qualitative regimes. Our findings are relevant for designing optimal state-preparation strategies for next-generation quantum sensors exploiting entanglement.

  Variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) offer the most promising path to obtaining quantum advantages via noisy processors. gate noise due to imperfections and decoherence affects the gradient estimates by introducing a bias. Quantum error mitigation (QEM) techniques can reduce the estimation bias without requiring any increase in the number of qubits. QEM can reduce the number of required iterations, but only as long as the quantum noise level is sufficiently small.
