Quantum metrology makes use of quantum mechanics to improve precision measurements and measurement sensitivities. It is usually formulated for time-independent Hamiltonians, but time-dependent Hamiltonians may offer advantages, such as a T4 time dependence of the Fisher information which cannot be reached with a time-independent Hamiltonian. In Optimal adaptive control for quantum metrology with time-dependent Hamiltonians (Nature Communications 8, 2017), Shengshi Pang and Andrew N. Jordan put forward a Shortcut-to-adiabaticity (STA)-like method, specifically an approach formally similar to the “counterdiabatic approach”, adding a control term to the original Hamiltonian to reach the upper bound of the Fisher information. We revisit this work from the point of view of STA to set the relations and differences between STA-like methods in metrology and ordinary STA. This analysis paves the way for the application of other STA-like techniques in parameter estimation. In particular we explore the use of physical unitary transformations to propose alternative time-dependent Hamiltonians which may be easier to implement in the laboratory.

Measurements leading to the collapse of states and the non-local quantum correlations are the key to all applications of quantum mechanics as well as in the studies of quantum foundation. The former is crucial for quantum parameter estimation, which is greatly affected by the physical environment and the measurement scheme itself. Its quantification is necessary to find efficient measurement schemes and circumvent the non-desirable environmental effects. This has led to the intense investigation of quantum metrology, extending the Cramér–Rao bound to the quantum domain through quantum Fisher information. Among all quantum states, the separable ones have the least quantumness; being devoid of the fragile non-local correlations, the component states remain unaffected in local operations performed by any of the parties. Therefore, using these states for the remote design of quantum states with high quantum Fisher information can have diverse applications in quantum information processing; accurate parameter estimation being a prominent example, as the quantum information extraction solely depends on it. Here, we demonstrate that these separable states with the least quantumness can be made extremely useful in parameter estimation tasks, and further show even in the case of the shared channel inflicted with the amplitude damping noise and phase flip noise, there is a gain in Quantum Fisher information (QFI). We subsequently pointed out that the symmetric W states, incapable of perfectly teleporting an unknown quantum state, are highly effective for remotely designing quantum states with high quantum Fisher information.

We show that the quantum Fisher information attained in an adiabatic approach to critical quantum metrology cannot lead to the Heisenberg limit of precision and therefore regular quantum metrology under optimal settings is always superior. Furthermore, we argue that even though shortcuts to adiabaticity can arbitrarily decrease the time of preparing critical ground states, they cannot be used to achieve or overcome the Heisenberg limit for quantum parameter estimation in adiabatic critical quantum metrology. As case studies, we explore the application of counter-diabatic driving to the Landau-Zener model and the quantum Rabi model.

In this paper, our prime objective is to apply the techniques of parameter estimation theory and the concept of Quantum Metrology in the form of Fisher Information to investigate the role of certain physical quantities in the open quantum dynamics of a two entangled qubit system under the Markovian approximation. There exist various physical parameters which characterize such system, but can not be treated as any quantum mechanical observable. It becomes imperative to do a detailed parameter estimation analysis to determine the physically consistent parameter space of such quantities. We apply both Classical Fisher Information (CFI) and Quantum Fisher Information (QFI) to correctly estimate these parameters, which play significant role to describe the out-of-equilibrium and the long range quantum entanglement phenomena of open quantum system. Quantum Metrology, compared to classical parameter estimation theory, plays a two-fold superior role, improving the precision and accuracy of parameter estimation. Additionally, in this paper we present a new avenue in terms of Quantum Metrology, which beats the classical parameter estimation. We also present an interesting result of revival of out-of-equilibrium feature at the late time scales, arising due to the long range quantum entanglement at early time scale and provide a physical interpretation for the same in terms of Bell's Inequality Violation in early time scale giving rise to non-locality.

AbstractWhen observations are correlated, modeling the within-subject correlation structure using quantile regression for longitudinal data can be difficult unless a working independence structure is utilized. Although this approach ensures consistent estimators of the regression coefficients, it may result in less efficient regression parameter estimation when data are highly correlated. Therefore, several marginal quantile regression methods have been proposed to improve parameter estimation. In a longitudinal study some of the covariates may change their values over time, and the topic of time-dependent covariate has not been explored in the marginal quantile literature. As a result, we propose an approach for marginal quantile regression in the presence of time-dependent covariates, which includes a strategy to select a working type of time-dependency. In this manuscript, we demonstrate that our proposed method has the potential to improve power relative to the independence estimating equations approach due to the reduction of mean squared error.

Quantum Singularities

We review the mathematical framework necessary to understand the physical content of quantum singularities in static spacetimes. We present many examples of classical singular spacetimes and study their singularities by using wave packets satisfying Klein–Gordon and Dirac equations. We show that in many cases the classical singularities are excluded when tested by quantum particles but unfortunately there are other cases where the singularities remain from the quantum mechanical point of view. When it is possible we also find, for spacetimes where quantum mechanics does not exclude the singularities, the boundary conditions necessary to turn the spatial portion of the wave operator to be self-adjoint and emphasize their importance to the interpretation of quantum singularities.

An online parameter estimation is important along with the adaptive control, that is, a time-dependent plant. This study uses both online identification and the simple adaptive control algorithm with velocity feedback. The recursive least squares method was used to identify the stiffness and damping parameters of the structure’s stories. Identification was carried out online without initial estimation and only by measuring the structural responses. The limited information regarding sensor measurements, parameter convergence, and the effects of the covariance matrix is examined. The integration of the applied online identification, the appropriate reference model selection in simple adaptive control, and adopting the proportional integral filter was used to limit the structural control response error. Some numerical examples are simulated to verify the ability of the proposed approach. Despite the limited information, the results show that the simultaneous use of online identification with the recursive least squares method and simple adaptive control algorithm improved the overall structural performance.
