Conventionally in quantum sensing, the goal is to estimate one or more unknown parameters that are assumed to be deterministic - that is, they do not change between shots of the quantum-sensing protocol. We instead consider the setting…

Quantum-enhanced sensing promises to improve the performance of sensing tasks using non-classical probes and measurements that require far fewer scene-modulated photons than the best classical schemes, thereby granting…
