Quantum Speed Limit under Calibration Uncertainty

Quantum Physics 2026-05-28 v1

Abstract

Standard quantum speed limits presuppose exactly known parameters, overestimating operational speed under calibration uncertainty. We introduce a projected speed limit based on the quantum Fisher information that profiles out these nuisance parameters on a quotient manifold. We derive constructive bounds for general Markovian evolution using sensitivity equations. Applying this to Jaynes--Cummings sensors, we obtain explicit detuning tolerances and quantify speed limits arising from field-dependent Purcell loss. This framework turns geometric bounds into concrete design rules for calibration and interrogation time.
