• Abstract: We develop a hybrid framework for quantum parameter estimation in the presence of nuisance parameters. In this Bayes-point scheme, the parameters of interest are treated as fixed non-random parameters while nuisance parameters are integrated out with respect to a prior (random parameters). Within this setting, we introduce the hybrid partial quantum Fisher information matrix (hpQFIM), defined by prior-averaging the nuisance block of the QFIM and taking a Schur complement, and derive a corresponding Cram\'er-Rao-type lower bound on the hybrid risk. We establish structural properties of the hpQFIM, including inequalities that bracket it between computationally tractable surrogates, as well as limiting behaviors under extreme priors. Operationally, the hybrid approach improves over pure point estimation since the optimal measurement for the parameters of interest depends only on the prior distribution of the nuisance, rather than on its unknown value. We illustrate the framework with analytically solvable qubit models and numerical examples, clarifying how partial prior information on nuisance variables can be systematically exploited in quantum metrology.

  We propose a FLexible Initializer for arbitrarily-sized Parametrized quantum circuits. FLIP can be applied to any family of PQCs, and instead of relying on a generic set of initial parameters, it is tailored to learn the structure of successful parameters. We illustrate the advantage of using FLIP in three scenarios: a family of problems with proven barren plateaus, PQC training to solve max-cut problem instances, and PQC training for finding the ground state energies of 1D Fermi-Hubbard models.
