• Abstract: Feedback can convert continuously monitored quantum jumps into a thermodynamic resource. We formulate full counting statistics for open quantum systems under unital jump feedback by incorporating the feedback maps into the tilted generator. The resulting trajectory ensemble determines both current fluctuations and the Fisher information of the measurement record. We show that feedback can enhance reservoir-parameter estimation and clock precision without necessarily changing average thermodynamic currents. This enhanced precision is not bounded by reservoir entropy production alone. By embedding the reduced dynamics in an enlarged measurement-feedback process, we derive a feedback-modified thermodynamic uncertainty relation in which the information entropy production of the feedback apparatus supplies the missing cost. A charge-monitored double quantum dot illustrates the framework: jump-conditioned feedback improves thermometry and chemical-potential sensing, and stabilizes a quantum clock defined by output-current ticks.
