Motivation: Why Quantum Metrology?
Classical setup:
N particles in a classical state,The Standard Quantum Limit(SQL):
(∆ϕ)2 ∝ 1/N
Quantum setup:
N particles in a quantumstate.The Heisenberg Limit (HL):
(∆ϕ)2 ∝ 1/N2
Sanah Altenburg Investigation of high-precision phase estimation in the presence of noise 3
Motivation: Why Quantum Metrology?
The Cramer-Rao bound
(∆ϕ)2 ≥ 1/FQ [%,Λϕ]
With the tool;Quantum Fisher Information (QFI) FQ [%,Λϕ]
But noise destroys the advantage of using quantum states.
The Question:
For a given set-up, with a given noise model;Which quantum state should be used?

The Quantum Fisher-Information
The QFI is propor-tional to the statisticalvelocity of the evolu-tion of a given state
(∂tDH)2 ∝ F
with the Hellinger Dis-tance DH (distance inprobability space).

The Quantum Fisher-Information
Initial state in its eigendecomposition % =∑i
λi |i〉〈i |
Unitary time evolution U = exp [−iθM]
Definition of the Quantum Fisher-Information
F (%,M) = 2∑α,β
(λα − λβ)2
λα + λβ|〈α|M |β〉|2
Example:
The fully mixed state % = 1/d is insensitive to any kind of unitarytime evolution, so that F (%,M) = 0.

The product-state
The classical state....
...is a Product-state:
|PN〉 =
(1√2
(|0〉+ |1〉))⊗N
Observations:
For T = 0 we find FQ = N, thisis the SQL.
For T > 0 the QFI decreases.
The more ions the faster theQFI decreases. 0 10 20 30 40 50

The GHZ-state...
...is defined as

The QFI is
FQ = N2e−N2C(T ).
Solving the master equationleads to
FQ = N2e−N2C(T ).

The sym. Dicke-state
For N = 4:
For α = 0, FQ = 0
For α = π/2 and T = 0,FQ = N(N + 2)/2
For α = π/4, somewherein between
For a given T and N, we areable to tell which state givesthe best precision for phaseand frequency estimation.
