• Abstract: Quantum error correction has become an indispensable tool for restoring Heisenberg-limited precision in noisy quantum metrology. Existing protocols, however, almost exclusively focus on correcting noise during the signal-encoding stage and implicitly assume that the probe is measured immediately after sensing. In many quantum information processing tasks, the encoded probe must instead be stored before subsequent quantum operations, during which environmental noise can significantly degrade the accumulated metrological information. Here, we propose a correlated-noise correction (CNC) protocol for protecting quantum probes during the storage stage. By correlating probe errors with auxiliary qubits through fixed two-body entangling gates, memory errors are converted into measurable syndromes that are extracted only once after storage. We show that the protocol naturally extends from single-qubit to multi-qubit probes and protects the stored quantum Fisher information against dephasing, bit-flip, and amplitude-damping noise. Furthermore, we demonstrate that preserving the quantum Fisher information does not necessarily require restoring the entire quantum state when the probe is measured immediately after storage, whereas full state recovery becomes essential for subsequent rounds of quantum signal processing. Our results establish correlated-noise correction as a practical framework for protecting metrological information during quantum memory and provide a useful building block for sensing-enabled quantum information processing.

  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.

  In quantum information processing quantum operations are often processed alongside measurements which result in classical data.

Quantum measurements are correctly treated by means of so-called quantum instruments capturing both classical outputs and post-measurement quantum states.
