• Abstract: As photons propagate through curved spacetime, gravitational effects become unavoidable. In particular, gravitational redshift can induce significant distortion in photon wave packets, making it es?sential to investigate parameter estimation within this context. While previous research has focused on single-parameter estimation using the quantum Cramer-Rao bound, the multiparameter scenario remains largely unexplored. In this work, we investigate multiparameter quantum estimation for a photon system subject to gravitational redshift under both amplitude-damping and Ohmic-like dephasing channels. Our analysis reveals that the quantum Cramer-Rao bound fails to provide a tight error bound for the two-parameter estimation involving the initial phase and weight parameters inboth types of noisy channels. To overcome this limitation, we numerically compute two tighter error bounds, i.e., the Holevo Cramer-Rao bound and the Nagaoka bound, when utilizing a semidefinite program. We demonstrate that the Nagaoka bound yields the tightest error bound among all considered bounds, consistent with the general hierarchy of multiparameter quantum estimation. Furthermore, for the three-parameter estimation, including the initial weight parameter, the phase parameter, and the strength of gravitational redshift, we observe significantly enhanced estimation precision in the strong-coupling regime compared to the weak-coupling regime under the amplitude-damping channel. Similarly, in the Ohmic-like dephasing channel, the sub-Ohmic regime consistently affords higher precision than the Ohmic and super-Ohmic regimes.
