• Abstract: Most quantum metrology protocols harness highly entangled probe states and globally accessible measurements to surpass the standard quantum limit. However, it is challenging to satisfy these requirements in realistic many-body sensors. We demonstrate that both of these constraints can be overcome in quantum chaotic sensors. Crucially, we establish that even in the presence of partial measurement accessibility, chaotic dynamics enables initial unentangled states to exhibit Heisenberg scaling of the quantum Fisher information, $I_α$ with time. In the weakly chaotic regime, we identify spin-coherent states placed at the edge of the regular islands in the mixed classical phase space as optimal initial states for enhanced sensitivity. On the other hand, in the strongly chaotic regime, $I_α$ is insensitive to the choice of the initial state. Notably, quantum-enhanced sensitivity is achieved even when a very low fraction ($\sim 5\%$) of the qubits are accessible. These results establish quantum chaos as a robust resource for quantum-enhanced sensing under realistic accessibility constraints on accessibility.

  In quantum metrology, entanglement represents a valuable resource that can be used to overcome the Standard Quantum Limit () that bounds the precision of sensors that operate with independent particles. We implement an effective time-reversal protocol through a controlled sign change in an optically engineered many-body Hamiltonian. Using a system of 350 neutral $171$Yb atoms, this signal amplification through time-reversed interaction protocol achieves the largest sensitivity improvement beyond the Standard Quantum Limit.

• Driving enhanced quantum sensing in partially accessible many-body systems [0.0]
  Ground-state criticality is a resource for quantum-enhanced sensing. We show that for partial accessibility, the sensing capabilities of a block of spins in the ground state reduces to the sub-Heisenberg limit. To compensate for this, we drive the hamiltonian periodically and use a local steady-state for quantum sensing.
