• Abstract: Quantum-enhanced sensing with atomic ensembles has predominantly focused on qubit-based protocols, despite the growing ability of many experimental platforms to coherently control and entangle multi-level systems. Here, we investigate quantum-enhanced sensing with qutrit ensembles by introducing three experimentally feasible qutrit generalisations of the one-axis twisting (OAT) model that involve entangling operations only between two levels, while the third level primarily acts as a spectator. We characterize the metrological utility of the dynamically generated states using the quantum Fisher information toolbox. We find numerically that all three models offer considerable freedom in encoding direction for quantum-enhanced sensing, with up to 6 out of 8 possible directions exhibit near-Heisenberg scaling after a short evolution time. We discuss experimental access to this enhanced metrological precision via effective time-reversal protocols. Furthermore, we examine the practical issues of estimation ambiguity and local dissipation, and show that they can be largely overcome by optimizing the sensor operating point. Finally, we show that the measurement incompatibility in estimating multiple parameters simultaneously encoded in different directions with near-Heisenberg scaling of precision is suppressed at the zero operating point as the system size increases. In the process, we find that one of the models enables near-Heisenberg scaling metrology with a pair of commuting generators, a possibility that arises from the $su(3)$ algebra and is thus absent in qubit-ensemble based sensors of collective $SU(2)$ rotations.
