• Title: Protecting Heisenberg scaling in quantum metrology via engineered dressed states
• Abstract summary: Heisenberg scaling can be achieved if and only if the signal generator lies outside the linear span of the system-environment coupling operators.<n>We show that the proper dressed states may enable Heisenberg scaling even in cases where the well-known Hamiltonian-not-in-Lindblad-span criterion, evaluated without dressing, would forbid it.

• Abstract: Quantum metrology promises precision beyond classical limits but environmental noise, unless properly controlled, reduces the quantum advantage to at most a constant improvement. A key challenge is therefore to design quantum control strategies that suppress noise while preserving sensitivity to the targeted signal. Here, we suggest to use dressed states generated by static fields to achieve this goal and show that success of this strategy depends on the spectral properties of the environment. For low-temperature noise, we show that Heisenberg scaling can be achieved if and only if the signal generator lies outside the linear span of the system-environment coupling operators. This implies that the proper dressed states may enable Heisenberg scaling even in cases where the well-known Hamiltonian-not-in-Lindblad-span criterion, evaluated without dressing, would forbid it. We illustrate dressed state metrology for the example of NV-center thermometry under magnetic-field fluctuations, with the framework readily applicable to other platforms.

  Storing quantum information requires battling quantum decoherence, which results in a loss of information over time. To achieve error-resistant quantum memory, one would like to store the information in a quantum superposition of degenerate states engineered in such a way that local sources of noise cannot change one state into another. We show that this platform also allows to detect and correct certain types of errors en route to the goal of true error-resistant quantum memory.

• Heisenberg-limited metrology with coherent control on the probes' configuration [0.7614628596146599]
  Heisenberg scaling, a quadratic improvement over the limits of classical statistics, is notoriously fragile to noise. Here we show that this limitation can sometimes be lifted if the experimenter has the ability to probe physical processes in a coherent superposition. We provide a parallel protocol that achieves Heisenberg scaling with respect to the probes' energy, as well as a sequential protocol that achieves Heisenberg scaling with respect to the total probing time.
