• Abstract: Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond can serve as highly sensitive solid-state quantum sensors for high-sensitivity magnetometry. However, in the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era, extracting reliable information from noisy, finite-shot, and measurement-limited sensing data remains a considerable challenge. Whereas, quantum machine learning (QML) offers a potential path to improve parameter estimation by learning nonlinear relationships between quantum-sensing data and the underlying physical signal. In this work, we investigate the role of QML in magnetic-field estimation within an NV center-inspired magnetometry setting. We formulated magnetic field sensing as a supervised regression task. We compared the performance of several classical machine learning models trained on measurement-based classical data with that of quantum kernel-based models trained on pre-measurement coherent quantum states. Our objective is to isolate the impact of measurement-induced information loss and therefore provide a theoretical upper bound on the sensing performance. The upper bound is achievable only when coherent quantum information is directly available to the learning model. Our results show that QML-based sensing performance improves significantly with coherent quantum-state information, and not much with changes in model complexity or learning paradigm. This observation underscores the importance of learning pipelines that tightly integrate quantum sensors and QML models to enhance magnetic field sensing under realistic constraints.
