The diverging responses to parameter variations of systems at quantum critical points motivate schemes of quantum metrology that feature sub-Heisenberg scaling of the sensitivity with the system size (e.g., the number of particles). This sensitivity enhancement is fundamentally rooted in the formation of Schrodinger cat states, or macroscopic superposition states at the quantum critical points. The cat states, however, are fragile to decoherence caused by local noises on individual particles or coupling to local environments, since the local decoherence of any particle would cause the collapse of the whole cat state. Therefore, it is unclear whether the sub-Heisenberg scaling of quantum critical metrology is robust against the local decoherence. Here we study the effects of local decoherence on the quantum critical metrology, using a one-dimensional transverse-field Ising model as a representative example. Based on a previous work [Phys. Rev. Lett. 94, 047201 (2005)] on the critical behaviors of the noisy Ising model, which shows that the universality class of the quantum criticality is modified by the decoherence, we find that the standard quantum limit is recovered by the single-particle decoherence, which is equivalent to local quantum measurement conducted by the environment and destroys the many-body entanglement in the ground state at the quantum critical point. Following the renormalization group analysis [Phys. Rev. B 69, 054426 (2004)], we argue that the noise effects on quantum critical metrology should be universal. This works demonstrates the importance of protecting macroscopic quantum coherence for quantum sensing based on critical behaviors.

Quantum metrology fundamentally relies upon the efficient management of quantum uncertainties. We show that, under equilibrium conditions, the management of quantum noise becomes extremely flexible around the quantum critical point of a quantum many-
body system: this is due to the critical divergence of quantum fluctuations of the order parameter, which, via Heisenbergs inequalities, may lead to the critical suppression of the fluctuations in conjugate observables. Taking the quantum Ising model as the paradigmatic incarnation of quantum phase transitions, we show that it exhibits quantum critical squeezing of one spin component, providing a scaling for the precision of interferometric parameter estimation which, in dimensions $d geq 2$, lies in between the standard quantum limit and the Heisenberg limit. Quantum critical squeezing saturates the maximum metrological gain allowed by the quantum Fisher information in $d=infty$ (or with infinite-range interactions) at all temperatures, and it approaches closely the bound in a broad range of temperatures in $d=2$ and 3. This demonstrates the immediate metrological potential of equilibrium many-body states close to quantum criticality, which are accessible emph{e.g.} to atomic quantum simulators via elementary adiabatic protocols.
The Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick (LMG) model describes critical systems with interaction beyond the first-neighbor approximation. Here we address the characterization of LMG systems, i.e. the estimation of anisotropy, and show how criticality may be exploite
d to improve precision. In particular, we provide exact results for the Quantum Fisher Information of small-size LMG chains made of $N=2, 3$ and $4$ lattice sites and analyze the same quantity in the thermodynamical limit by means of a zero-th order approximation of the system Hamiltonian. We then show that the ultimate bounds to precision may be achieved by tuning the external field and by measuring the total magnetization of the system. We also address the use of LMG systems as quantum thermometers and show that: i) precision is governed by the gap between the lowest energy levels of the systems, ii) field-dependent level crossing provides a resource to extend the operating range of the quantum thermometer.
Physical systems close to a quantum phase transition exhibit a divergent susceptibility, suggesting that an arbitrarily-high precision may be achieved by exploiting quantum critical systems as probes to estimate a physical parameter. However, such an
improvement in sensitivity is counterbalanced by the closing of the energy gap, which implies a critical slowing down and an inevitable growth of the protocol duration. Here, we design different metrological protocols that make use of the superradiant phase transition of the quantum Rabi model, a finite-component system composed of a single two-level atom interacting with a single bosonic mode. We show that, in spite of the critical slowing down, critical quantum optical systems can lead to a quantum-enhanced time-scaling of the quantum Fisher information, and so of the measurement sensitivity.
When a quantum nonlinear system is linearly coupled to an infinite bath of harmonic oscillators, quantum coherence of the system is lost on a decoherence time-scale $tau_D$. Nevertheless, quantum effects for observables may still survive environment-
induced decoherence, and be observed for times much larger than the decoherence time-scale. In particular, we show that the Ehrenfest time, which characterizes a departure of quantum dynamics for observables from the corresponding classical dynamics, can be observed for a quasi-classical nonlinear oscillator for times $tau ggtau_D$. We discuss this observation in relation to recent experiments on quantum nonlinear systems in the quasi-classical region of parameters.
We address the time evolution of the quantum correlations ($QCs$) such as entanglement, purity, and coherence for a model of two non-interacting qubits initially prepared as a maximally entangled bipartite state. We contrast the comparative potential
of the classical fields to preserve these $QCs$ in the noisy and noiseless realms. We also disclose the characteristic dynamical behavior of the $QCs$ of the two-qubit state under the static noisy effects originating from the common and different configuration models. We show that there is a direct connection between the fluctuations allowed by an environment and the $QCs$ preservation. Due to the static noisy dephasing effects, the $QCs$ are suppressed, resulting in the separability of the two-qubit entangled state after a finite duration. Here, the $QCs$ decay effects are found much smaller in the common configuration model than that of the opponent. Furthermore, this protection of the $QCs$ under static noise for large intervals is entirely attributable to the existence of the entanglement sudden death and birth phenomenon. Most importantly, we found the bipartite $QCs$ less fragile than the tripartite ones in comparison under the static noise. In the case of the measures, the concurrence is found to be sharper for showing the entanglement sudden death and birth revivals in comparison to the purity and decoherence.
