Remote Parameter Estimation in a Quantum Spin Chain Enhanced by Local Control

Quantum Physics 2017-06-06 v1

Abstract

We study the interplay of control and parameter estimation on a quantum spin chain. A single qubit probe is attached to one end of the chain, while we wish to estimate a parameter on the other end. We find that control on the probe qubit can substantially improve the estimation performance and discover some interesting connections to quantum state transfer.
