• Abstract: We show that private correlations in a bipartite quantum state constitute a metrological resource for distributed sensing assisted by a possibly noisy channel from one party to the other. We begin with an example with distillable secret key but poor locally accessible sensing performance and show that an assisting channel substantially improves its performance. We then prove a general theorem showing that positive private information in the encoding basis certifies a quantitative lower bound on the locally accessible sensing capability after assistance. We further show that classical correlations alone provide no analogous guarantee, whereas, in the absence of the assisting subsystem, the privacy-based guarantee reduces to an entanglement-based one. Finally, in a channel formulation, we show that a channel with positive private information allows nonzero locally accessible sensitivity when paired with a suitable assisting channel.
