Classical-driving-enhanced parameter-estimation precision of a non-Markovian dissipative two-state system

Abstract

The dynamics of quantum Fisher information (QFI) of the phase parameter in a driven two-state system is studied within the framework of the non-Markovian dissipative process. The influences of memory effects, classical driving, and detunings on the parameter-estimation precision are demonstrated by exactly solving the Hamiltonian under rotating-wave approximation. In sharp contrast with the results obtained in the presence of Markovian dissipation, we find that classical driving can drastically enhance the QFI, namely, the precision of parameter estimation in the non-Markovian regime. Moreover, the parameter-estimation precision may even be preserved from the influence of surrounding non-Markovian dissipation with the assistance of classical driving. Remarkably, we reveal that the enhancement and preservation of QFI highly depend on the combination of classical driving and non-Markovian effects. Finally, a phenomenological explanation of the underlying mechanism is presented in detail via the quasimode theory.

Engineering quantum Fisher information and non-Markovian dynamics via classical driving in cavity QED

Ghasem Zare Firozi, Ali Mortezapour, Borhan Arghavani Nia +2 more

We investigate the simultaneous control of quantum parameter-estimation precision and non-Markovian memory effects in a driven two-qubit system that is collectively coupled to a leaky cavity. Using a dressed-state formalism, we derive analytical solutions for identical and non-identical qubits and analyze how classical driving and detuning affect metrological performance. Classical driving enhances the quantum Fisher information (QFI) by sustaining coherence and shifting effective transitions away from cavity resonance, thereby suppressing decoherence in both weak- and strong-coupling regimes. The steady-state QFI is further improved by positive classical-field detuning, which reduces spectral overlap with the lossy reservoir. To characterize memory effects, we examine the QFI-flow and the Breuer–Laine–Piilo (BLP) trace-distance measure. Our results reveal a nontrivial control trade-off: increasing the Rabi frequency suppresses non-Markovian information backflow, whereas increasing qubit detuning enhances memory effects by promoting system–environment correlations. Despite their different definitions, the QFI-flow and BLP measures yield consistent qualitative behavior in this system. These findings demonstrate that classical-field parameter tuning empowers researchers to optimize estimation precision and non-Markovianity in dissipative cavity-QED, with direct applicability to superconducting circuit platforms.

The enhancement of quantum steering weight and nonlocality of a non-Markovian dissipative systems

Xiaoqian Li, Yongjun Xiao, Yu Li +1 more

Abstract We investigate the dynamics of steerable weight and quantum nonlocality in a driven system consisting of two independent two-state system, within the framework of non-Markovian dissipative processes. The influences of memory effects, classical driving, and detunings on both steerable weight and nonlocality are examined by obtaining an exact solution of the system dynamics under the rotating-wave approximation. By comparison with the results obtained in the presence of Markovian dissipation, we reveal that classical driving can significantly enhance both steerable weight and nonlocality in the non-Markovian regime. Moreover, even in the presence of non-Markovian dissipation, the values of steerable weight and nonlocality can be maintained for a prolonged duration with the assistance of classical driving. Remarkably, our results demonstrate that the enhancement and preservation of steerable weight and nonlocality strongly depend on the combined effects of classical driving and non-Markovian effects.

Non-Markovian effect on the precision of parameter estimation

K. Berrada

We study the non-Markovian effect on the dynamics of the quantum Fisher information (QFI) by exactly solving a model consisting of a qubit system subjects to a zero-temperature reservoir for two different non-Markovian conditions: a high-$Q$ cavity slightly off-resonant with the qubit transition frequency and a nonperfect photonic band gap, respectively. The phenomenon that the QFI, namely, the precision of estimation, changes dramatically with the environment structure and is affected by the environment memory effects. We find that revivals and retardation of QFI loss may occur by adjusting the cavity-qubit detuning, in the first case, while partial QFI trapping occurs in nonideal photonic band gaps and the decreasing gap width seriously destroys coherence, thus reducing the precision of estimation. These features make the qubit system in non-Markovian environments a good candidate for implementation of quantum optics schemes and information with high precision.

Quantum metrology with a non-Markovian qubit system

Jiang Huang, Wen-Qing Shi, Yu-Ping Xie +2 more

The dynamics of the quantum Fisher information (QFI) of phase parameter estimation in a non-Markovian dissipative qubit system is investigated within the structure of single and double Lorentzian spectra. We use the time-convolutionless method with fourth-order perturbation expansion to obtain the general forms of QFI for the qubit system in terms of a non-Markovian master equation. We find that the phase parameter estimation can be enhanced in our model within both single and double Lorentzian spectra. What is more, the detuning and spectral width are two significant factors affecting the enhancement of parameter-estimation precision.

Non-Hermitian-assisted enhancement precision of parameter estimation

You-neng Guo, Mao-Fa Fang, Gouyou Wang +2 more

Recently, Zhong et al. [Phys. Rev. A 87, 022337(2013)] investigated the dynamics of quantum Fisher information (QFI) in the presence of decoherence. We here reform their results and propose two schemes to enhance and preserve the QFIs for a qubit system subjected to a decoherence noisy environment by applying $\textit{non-Hermitian}$ operators process. The proposed schemes are related to the $\textit{prior}$ (or the $\textit{post}$ ) non-Hermitian operator process corresponding to before (or after) the interest system suffers from decoherence, respectively. Resorting to the Bloch sphere representation, we derive the exact analytical expressions of the QFIs with respect to the amplitude parameter $θ$ and the phase parameter $ϕ$, and in detail investigate the influence of $\textit{non-Hermitian}$ operator parameters on the QFIs. Compared with purity decoherence process (without non-Hermitian operator process), we find that the $\textit{post non-Hermitian}$ operator process can potentially enhance and preserve the QFIs by choosing appropriate $\textit{non-Hermitian}$ operator parameters, while with the help of the $\textit{prior non-Hermitian}$ operator process one could completely eliminate the effect of decoherence to improve the parameters estimation. Finally, a generalized non-Hermitian operator parameters effect on the parameters estimation is also considered.

Enhancing precision of phase estimation by homodyne-mediated feedback and classical driving

Yaohua Hu, Leiming Cao, Haifeng Yang +2 more

Abstract A two-level atom interacting with a single-mode cavity is considered. The atom-cavity system is driven by a classical field with the homodyne-mediated feedback. The influences of the driving field and two types of the feedback on the precision of the phase estimation are investigated. The results show the quantum Fisher information (QFI) can be preserved by the homodyne-mediated feedback and the classical driving when the system parameters are suitable. In addition, the initial value of the relative phase greatly effects the QFI. Therefore, the phase estimation precision of the two-level atom can be enhanced, and the extent of the enhancement is decided by not only the driving frequency and the type of quantum feedback, but also the initial parameters of the two-level system.
