• Abstract: We show that ensembles of deep neural networks, called deep ensembles, can be used to perform quantum parameter estimation while also providing a means for quantifying uncertainty in parameter estimates, which is a key advantage of using Bayesian inference for parameter estimation. These models are shown to be more robust to noise in the measurement results used to perform the parameter estimation as well as noise in the data used to train them. We also show that much less data is needed to achieve comparable performance to Bayesian inference based estimation, which is known to reach the ultimate precision limit as more data is collected, than was used in previous proposals.

• Fundamental bounds for parameter estimation with few measurements [0.0]
  We discuss different linear (Barankin-like) conditions that can be imposed on estimators and analyze when these conditions admit an optimal estimator with finite variance. We show that, if the number of imposed conditions is larger than the number of measurement outcomes, there generally does not exist a corresponding estimator with finite variance. We derive an extended Cram'er-Rao bound that is compatible with a finite variance in situations where the Barankin bound is undefined.
