Quantum sensors may provide extremely high sensitivity and precision to extract key information in a quantum or classical physical system. A fundamental question is whether a quantum sensor is capable of uniquely inferring unknown parameters in a system for a given structure of the quantum sensor and admissible measurement on the sensor. In this paper, we investigate the capability of a class of quantum sensors which consist of either a single qubit or two qubits. A quantum sensor is coupled to a spin chain system to extract information of unknown parameters in the system. With given initialisation and measurement schemes, we employ the similarity transformation approach and the Grobner basis method to prove that a single-qubit quantum sensor cannot effectively estimate the unknown parameters in the spin chain system while the two-qubit quantum sensor can. The work demonstrates that it is a feasible method to enhance the capability of quantum sensors by increasing the number of qubits in the quantum sensors for some practical applications.

We consider two one dimensional nonlinear oscillators, namely (i) Higgs oscillator and (ii) a $k$-dependent nonpolynomial rational potential, where $k$ is the constant curvature of a Riemannian manifold. Both the systems are of position dependent mas s form, ${displaystyle m(x) = frac{1}{(1 + k x^2)^2}}$, belonging to the quadratic Li$acute{e}$nard type nonlinear oscillators. They admit different kinds of motions at the classical level. While solving the quant
The extraordinary sensitivity of plasmonic sensors is well known in the optics and photonics community. These sensors exploit simultaneously the enhancement and the localization of electromagnetic fields close to the interface between a metal and a d ielectric. This enables, for example, the design of integrated biochemical sensors at scales far below the diffraction limit. Despite their practical realization and successful commercialization, the sensitivity and associated precision of plasmonic sensors are starting to reach their fundamental classical limit given by quantum fluctuations of light -- known as the shot-noise limit. To improve the sensing performance of these sensors beyond the classical limit, quantum resources are increasingly being employed. This area of research has become known as `quantum plasmonic sensing and it has experienced substantial activity in recent years for applications in chemical and biological sensing. This review aims to cover both plasmonic and quantum techniques for sensing, and shows how they have been merged to enhance the performance of plasmonic sensors beyond traditional methods. We discuss the general framework developed for quantum plasmonic sensing in recent years, covering the basic theory behind the advancements made, and describe the important works that made these advancements. We also describe several key works in detail, highlighting their motivation, the working principles behind them, and their future impact. The intention of the review is to set a foundation for a burgeoning field of research that is currently being explored out of intellectual curiosity and for a wide range of practical applications in biochemistry, medicine, and pharmaceutical research.
We study the storage capacity of quantum neural networks (QNNs) described as completely positive trace preserving (CPTP) maps, which act on an $N$-dimensional Hilbert space. We demonstrate that QNNs can store up to $N$ linearly independent pure state s and provide the structure of the corresponding maps. While the storage capacity of a classical Hopfield network scales linearly with the number of neurons, we show that QNNs can store an exponential number of linearly independent states. We estimate, employing the Gardner program, the relative volume of CPTP maps with $M$ stationary states. The volume decreases exponentially with $M$ and shrinks to zero for $Mgeq N+1$. We generalize our results to QNNs storing mixed states as well as input-output relations for feed-forward QNNs. Our approach opens the path to relate storage properties of QNNs to the quantum properties of the input-output states. This paper is dedicated to the memory of Peter Wittek.
Arrays of atoms trapped in optical tweezers combine features of programmable analog quantum simulators with atomic quantum sensors. Here we propose variational quantum algorithms, tailored for tweezer arrays as programmable quantum sensors, capable o f generating entangled states on-demand for precision metrology. The scheme is designed to generate metrological enhancement by optimizing it in a feedback loop on the quantum device itself, thus preparing the best entangled states given the available quantum resources. We apply our ideas to generate spin-squeezed states on Sr atom tweezer arrays, where finite-range interactions are generated through Rydberg dressing. The complexity of experimental variational optimization of our quantum circuits is expected to scale favorably with system size. We numerically show our approach to be robust to noise, and surpassing known protocols.
Distinct from closed quantum systems, non-Hermitian system can have exceptional points (EPs) where both eigenvalues and eigenvectors coalesce. Recently, it has been proposed and demonstrated that EPs can enhance the performance of sensors in terms of amplification of detected signal. Meanwhile, the noise might also be amplified at EPs and it is not obvious whether exceptional points will still improve the performance of sensors when both signal and noise are amplified. We develop quantum noise theory to systematically calculate the signal and noise associated with the EP sensors. We then compute quantum Fisher information to extract a lower bound of the sensitivity of EP sensors. Finally, we explicitly construct an EP sensing scheme based on heterodyne detection to achieve the same scaling of the ultimate sensitivity with enhanced performance. Our results can be generalized to higher order EPs for any bosonic non-Hermitian system with linear interactions.
