We consider the problem of estimating multiple analytic functions of a set of local parameters via qubit sensors in a quantum sensor network. To address this problem, we highlight a generalization of the sensor symmetric performance bounds of Rubio et. al. [J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 53 344001 (2020)] and develop a new optimized sequential protocol for measuring such functions. We compare the performance of both approaches to one another and to local protocols that do not utilize quantum entanglement, emphasizing the geometric significance of the coefficient vectors of the measured functions in determining the best choice of measurement protocol. We show that, in many cases, especially for a large number of sensors, the optimized sequential protocol results in more accurate measurements than the other strategies. In addition, in contrast to the the sensor symmetric approach, the sequential protocol is known to always be explicitly implementable. The sequential protocol is very general and has a wide range of metrological applications.

We generalize past work on quantum sensor networks to show that, for $d$ input parameters, entanglement can yield a factor $mathcal O(d)$ improvement in mean squared error when estimating an analytic function of these parameters. We show that the pro
tocol is optimal for qubit sensors, and conjecture an optimal protocol for photons passing through interferometers. Our protocol is also applicable to continuous variable measurements, such as one quadrature of a field operator. We outline a few potential applications, including calibration of laser operations in trapped ion quantum computing.
We analyze how the performance of a quantum-repeater network depends on the protocol employed to distribute entanglement, and we find that the choice of repeater-to-repeater link protocol has a profound impact on communication rate as a function of h
ardware parameters. We develop numerical simulations of quantum networks using different protocols, where the repeater hardware is modeled in terms of key performance parameters, such as photon generation rate and collection efficiency. These parameters are motivated by recent experimental demonstrations in quantum dots, trapped ions, and nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond. We find that a quantum-dot repeater with the newest protocol (MidpointSource) delivers the highest communication rate when there is low probability of establishing entanglement per transmission, and in some cases the rate is orders of magnitude higher than other schemes. Our simulation tools can be used to evaluate communication protocols as part of designing a large-scale quantum network.
This letter considers stochastic geometry modelling (SGM) for estimating the signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR) and throughput of CSMA networks. We show that, despite its compact mathematical formulation, SGM has serious limitations in ter
ms of both accuracy and computational efficiency. SGM often severely underestimates the SINR versus ns-3 simulations, yet as it neglects the sensing overhead when mapping SINR to throughput, SGM usually overestimates the throughput substantially. We propose our hybrid model for CSMA, which we argue is a superior modelling approach due to being significantly more accurate and at least one order of magnitude faster to compute than SGM.
We consider a quantum sensor network of qubit sensors coupled to a field $f(vec{x};vec{theta})$ analytically parameterized by the vector of parameters $vectheta$. The qubit sensors are fixed at positions $vec{x}_1,dots,vec{x}_d$. While the functional
form of $f(vec{x};vec{theta})$ is known, the parameters $vec{theta}$ are not. We derive saturable bounds on the precision of measuring an arbitrary analytic function $q(vec{theta})$ of these parameters and construct the optimal protocols that achieve these bounds. Our results are obtained from a combination of techniques from quantum information theory and duality theorems for linear programming. They can be applied to many problems, including optimal placement of quantum sensors, field interpolation, and the measurement of functionals of parametrized fields.
Reinforcement learning with neural networks (RLNN) has recently demonstrated great promise for many problems, including some problems in quantum information theory. In this work, we apply RLNN to quantum hypothesis testing and determine the optimal m
easurement strategy for distinguishing between multiple quantum states ${ rho_{j} }$ while minimizing the error probability. In the case where the candidate states correspond to a quantum system with many qubit subsystems, implementing the optimal measurement on the entire system is experimentally infeasible. In this work, we focus on using RLNN to find locally-adaptive measurement strategies that are experimentally feasible, where only one quantum subsystem is measured in each round. We provide numerical results which demonstrate that RLNN successfully finds the optimal local approach, even for candidate states up to 20 subsystems. We additionally introduce a min-entropy based locally adaptive protocol, and demonstrate that the RLNN strategy meets or exceeds the min-entropy success probability in each random trial. While the use of RLNN is highly successful for designing adaptive local measurement strategies, we find that there can be a significant gap between success probability of any locally-adaptive measurement strategy and the optimal collective measurement. As evidence of this, we exhibit a collection of pure tensor product quantum states which cannot be optimally distinguished by any locally-adaptive strategy. This counterexample raises interesting new questions about the gap between theoretically optimal measurement strategies and practically implementable measurement strategies.
