Entanglement is generally considered necessary for achieving the Heisenberg limit in quantum metrology. We construct analogues of Dicke and GHZ states on a single $N+1$ dimensional qudit that achieve precision equivalent to symmetrically…

A lower bound is an important tool for predicting the performance that an estimator can achieve under a particular statistical model. Bayesian bounds are a kind of such bounds which not only utilizes the observation statistics but also…

Probabilistic metrology attempts to improve parameter estimation by occasionally reporting an excellent estimate and the rest of the time either guessing or doing nothing at all. Here we show that probabilistic metrology can never improve…
