Interacting quantum systems are attracting increasing interest for developing precise metrology. In particular, the realisation that quantum-correlated states and the dynamics of interacting systems can lead to entirely new and unexpected phenomena have initiated an intense research effort to explore interaction-based metrology both theoretically and experimentally. However, the current framework of interaction-based metrology mainly focuses on single-parameter estimations, a demonstration of multiparameter metrology using interactions as a resource was heretofore lacking. Here we demonstrate an interaction-based multiparameter metrology with strongly interacting nuclear spins. We show that the interacting spins become intrinsically sensitive to all components of a multidimensional field when their interactions are significantly larger than their Larmor frequencies. Using liquid-state molecules containing strongly interacting nuclear spins, we demonstrate the proof-of-principle estimation of all three components of an unknown magnetic field and inertial rotation. In contrast to existing approaches, the present interaction-based multiparameter sensing does not require external reference fields and opens a path to develop an entirely new class of multiparameter quantum sensors.

Quantum metrology makes use of coherent superpositions to detect weak signals. While in principle the sensitivity can be improved by increasing the density of sensing particles, in practice this improvement is severely hindered by interactions between them. Using a dense ensemble of interacting electronic spins in diamond, we demonstrate a novel approach to quantum metrology. It is based on a new method of robust quantum control, which allows us to simultaneously eliminate the undesired effects associated with spin-spin interactions, disorder and control imperfections, enabling a five-fold enhancement in coherence time compared to conventional control sequences. Combined with optimal initialization and readout protocols, this allows us to break the limit for AC magnetic field sensing imposed by interactions, opening a promising avenue for the development of solid-state ensemble magnetometers with unprecedented sensitivity.
We analyze simultaneous quantum estimations of multiple parameters with postselection measurements in terms of a tradeoff relation. The system, or a sensor, is characterized by a set of parameters, interacts with a measurement apparatus (MA), and then is postselected onto a set of orthonormal final states. Measurements of the MA yield an estimation of the parameters. We first derive classical and quantum Cramer-Rao lower bounds and then discuss their archivable condition and the tradeoffs in the postselection measurements in general, including the case when a sensor is in mixed state. Its whole information can, in principle, be obtained via the MA which is not possible without postselection. We, then, apply the framework to simultaneous measurements of phase and its fluctuation as an example.
In multiparameter quantum metrology, the weighted-arithmetic-mean error of estimation is often used as a scalar cost function to be minimized during design optimization. However, other types of mean error can reveal different facets of permissible error combination. By introducing the weighted $f$-mean of estimation error and quantum Fisher information, we derive various quantum Cramer-Rao bounds on mean error in a very general form and also give their refin
Mean-field dynamics of strongly interacting bosons described by hard core bosons with nearest-neighbor attraction has been shown to support two species of solitons: one of Gross-Pitaevskii (GP-type) where the condensate fraction remains dark and a novel non-Gross-Pitaevskii-type (non-GP-type) characterized by brightening of the condensate fraction. Here we study the effects of quantum fluctuations on these solitons using the adaptive time-dependent density matrix renormalization group method, which takes into account the effect of strong correlations. We use local observables as the density, condensate density and correlation functions as well as the entanglement entropy to characterize the stability of the initial states. We find both species of solitons to be stable under quantum evolution for a finite duration, their tolerance to quantum fluctuations being enhanced as the width of the soliton increases. We describe possible experimental realizations in atomic Bose Einstein Condensates, polarized degenerate Fermi gases, and in systems of polar molecules on optical lattices.
Ramsey interferometry is routinely used in quantum metrology for the most sensitive measurements of optical clock frequencies. Spontaneous decay to the electromagnetic vacuum ultimately limits the interrogation time and thus sets a lower bound to the optimal frequency sensitivity. In dense ensembles of two-level systems the presence of collective effects such as superradiance and dipole-dipole interaction tends to decrease the sensitivity even further. We show that by a redesign of the Ramsey-pulse sequence to include different rotations of individual spins that effectively fold the collective state onto a state close to the center of the Bloch sphere, partial protection from collective decoherence and dephasing is possible. This allows a significant improvement in the sensitivity limit of a clock transition detection scheme over the conventional Ramsey method for interacting systems and even for non-interacting decaying atoms.
