Abstract

Conserved quantities are crucial in quantum physics. Here we discuss a general scenario of Hamiltonians. All the Hamiltonians within this scenario share a common conserved quantity form. For unitary parametrization processes, the characteristic operator of this scenario is analytically provided, as well as the corresponding quantum Fisher information (QFI). As the application of this scenario, we focus on two classes of Hamiltonians: su(2) category and canonical category. Several specific physical systems in these two categories are discussed in detail. Besides, we also calculate an alternative form of QFI in this scenario.

Quantum metrology with unitary parametrization processes

Jing Liu, Xiao-Xing Jing, Xiaoguang Wang

Quantum Fisher information is a central quantity in quantum metrology. We discuss an alternative representation of quantum Fisher information for unitary parametrization processes. In this representation, all information of parametrization transformation, i.e., the entire dynamical information, is totally involved in a Hermitian operator H. Utilizing this representation, quantum Fisher information is only determined by H and the initial state. Furthermore, H can be expressed in an expanded form. The highlights of this form is that it can bring great convenience during the calculation for the Hamiltonians owning recursive commutations with their partial derivative. We apply this representation in a collective spin system and show the specific expression of H. For a simple case, a spin-half system, the quantum Fisher information is given and the optimal states to access maximum quantum Fisher information are found. Moreover, for an exponential form initial state, an analytical expression of quantum Fisher information by H operator is provided. The multiparameter quantum metrology is also considered and discussed utilizing this representation.

Maximal quantum Fisher information for general su(2) parametrization processes

Xiao-Xing Jing, Jing Liu, Heng-Na Xiong +1 more

Quantum Fisher information is a key concept in the field of quantum metrology, which aims to enhance the accuracy of parameter estimation by using quantum resources. In this paper, utilizing a representation of quantum Fisher information for a general unitary parametrization process, we study unitary parametrization processes governed by su(2) dynamics. We obtain the analytical expression for the Hermitian operator of the parametrization and the maximal quantum Fisher information. We find that the maximal quantum Fisher information over the parameter space consists of two parts; one is quadratic in time and the other oscillates with time. We apply our result to the estimation of a magnetic field and obtained the maximal quantum Fisher information. We further discuss a driving field with a time-dependent Hamiltonian and find that the maximal quantum Fisher information of the driving frequency attains the optimum when it is in resonance with the atomic frequency.

Continuity of the quantum Fisher information

A. T. Rezakhani, M. Hassani, S. Alipour

In estimating an unknown parameter of a quantum state the quantum Fisher information (QFI) is a pivotal quantity, which depends on the state and its derivate with respect to the unknown parameter. We prove the continuity property for the QFI in the sense that two close states with close first derivatives have close QFIs. This property is completely general and irrespective of dynamics or how states acquire their parameter dependence and also the form of parameter dependence---indeed this continuity is basically a feature of the classical Fisher information that in the case of the QFI naturally carries over from the manifold of probability distributions onto the manifold of density matrices. We demonstrate that, in the special case where the dependence of the states on the unknown parameter comes from one dynamical map (quantum channel), the continuity holds in its reduced form with respect to the initial states. In addition, we show that, when one initial state evolves through two different quantum channels, the continuity relation applies in its general form. A situation in which such a scenario can occur is an open-system metrology where one of the maps represents the ideal dynamics, whereas the other map represents the real (noisy) dynamics. In the making of our main result, we also introduce a regularized representation for the symmetric logarithmic derivative which works for general states even with incomplete rank, and it features continuity similar to the QFI.

Quantum Fisher information for unitary parametrization processes governed by arbitrary Lie algebras

Hongbin Liang, Fei Yao, Xiao-Xing Jing +2 more

Abstract Quantum Fisher information (QFI) is a key concept of quantum metrology, which is widely used in quantum parameter estimation. We introduce a general approach to analytically get the QFI of pure states for unitary parametrization processes governed by arbitrary finite dimensional Lie algebras. We show the universality of this approach by comparing the result of algebra with the previous work and applying it to and algebras. For case, there are some interesting findings. The phase of the initial coherent state has an optimal value for maximum QFI, and the QFI can vanish and revive during the time evolution.

Fisher information matrix as a resource measure in the resource theory of asymmetry with general connected-Lie-group symmetry

Daigo Kudo, Hiroyasu Tajima

In recent years, in quantum information theory, there has been a remarkable development in the general theoretical framework for studying symmetry in dynamics. This development, called resource theory of asymmetry, is expected to have a wide range of applications, from accurate time measurements to black-hole physics. Despite its importance, the foundation of resource theory of asymmetry still has room for expansion. An important problem is in quantifying the amount of resource. When the symmetry prescribed U(1) or $\mathbb{R}$, i.e., with a single conserved quantity, the quantum Fisher information is known as a resource measure that has suitable properties and a clear physical meaning related to quantum fluctuation of the conserved quantity. However, it is not clear what is the resource measure with such suitable properties when a general symmetry prevails for which there are multiple conserved quantities. The purpose of this paper is to fill this gap. Specifically, we show that the quantum Fisher information matrix is a resource measure whenever a connected linear Lie group describes the symmetry. We also consider the physical meaning of this matrix and see which properties that the quantum Fisher information has when the symmetry is described by U(1) or $\mathbb{R}$ can be inherited by the quantum Fisher information matrix.

Quantum Fisher information and symmetric logarithmic derivative via anti-commutators

Jing Liu, Jie Chen, Xiao-Xing Jing +1 more

Abstract The symmetric logarithmic derivative (SLD) is a key quantity to obtain quantum Fisher information (QFI) and to construct the corresponding optimal measurements. Here we develop a method to calculate the SLD and QFI via anti-commutators. This method has originated from the Lyapunov representation and would be very useful for cases where the anti-commutators among the state and its partial derivative exhibit periodic properties. As an application, we discuss a class of states whose squares linearly depend on the states themselves, and give the corresponding analytical expressions of SLD and QFI. A noisy scenario of this class of states is also considered and discussed. Finally, we readily apply the method to the block-diagonal states and the multi-parameter estimation scenarios.
