Abstract

The precise measurement of the leptonic CP-violating phase $δ_{CP}$ remains one of the major open challenges in neutrino physics, as current experiments achieve only very limited accuracy. We address this issue through the lens of quantum estimation theory. A distinctive feature of neutrino oscillation experiments is that they cannot freely optimize the probe or measurement, since both are constrained by the production and detection of flavor eigenstates. We therefore examine whether the large uncertainty in $δ_{CP}$ originates from intrinsic reasons, either of the neutrino quantum state or of flavor measurements, or if it instead stems from experimental limitations. By comparing quantum and classical Fisher information, we demonstrate that the limited sensitivity to $δ_{CP}$ originates primarily from the information content of flavor measurements. Furthermore, we show that targeting the second oscillation maximum, as in the ESS$ν$SB proposal, substantially enhances $δ_{CP}$ information compared to experiments centered on the first maximum.

The precise determination of the leptonic CP phase $δ_{\rm CP}$ remains one of the central objectives of current and future long-baseline (LBL) neutrino oscillation experiments. Quantum estimation theory provides a natural framework to quantify the ultimate precision limits for estimating physical parameters encoded in quantum states. In this work, we employ the quantum Fisher information to investigate how much information about $δ_{\rm CP}$ is intrinsically encoded in neutrino states and how efficiently it is extracted in present LBL experiments such as T2K and NO $ν$ A. We first analyze the intrinsic quantum sensitivity of neutrino and antineutrino states and demonstrate how matter effects generate a neutrino mass-ordering dependent information structure. To compare the intrinsic information content of the quantum state with the information experimentally accessible through flavor measurements, we compute the event-level Fisher information from reconstructed event spectra using Poisson statistics. We find that both experiments extract only a small fraction of the total information available in the underlying quantum state. This extraction efficiency becomes particularly suppressed near maximally CP-violating regions, where the reconstructed event spectra exhibit reduced sensitivity to small variations in $δ_{\rm CP}$ . Our analysis provides a complementary information-theoretic perspective on precise estimation of oscillation parameters in LBL neutrino experiments.The precise determination of the leptonic CP phase $δ_{\rm CP}$ remains one of the central objectives of current and future long-baseline (LBL) neutrino oscillation experiments.

Quantum Estimation Theory Limits in Neutrino Oscillation Experiments

Claudia Frugiuele, Marco G. Genoni, Michela Ignoti +1 more

Measurements of the Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata (PMNS) neutrino mixing parameters have entered a precision era, enabling increasingly stringent tests of neutrino oscillations. Within the framework of quantum estimation theory, we investigate whether flavor measurements, the only observables currently accessible experimentally, are optimal for extracting the oscillation parameters. We compute the Quantum Fisher Information (QFI) and the classical Fisher Information (FI) associated with ideal flavor projections for all oscillation parameters, considering accelerator muon (anti)neutrino and reactor electron antineutrino beams propagating in vacuum. Two main results emerge. First, flavor measurements saturate the QFI at the first oscillation maximum for $θ_{13}$ , $θ_{23}$ , and $θ_{12}$ , demonstrating their information-theoretic optimality for these parameters. In contrast, they are far from optimal for $δ_{CP}$ . In particular, only a small fraction of the available information on $δ_{CP}$ is extracted at the first maximum; the sensitivity improves at the second maximum, in line with the strategy of ESS $ν$ SB, a planned facility. Second, the QFI associated with $δ_{CP}$ is approximately one order of magnitude smaller than that of the mixing angles, indicating that the neutrino state intrinsically encodes less information about CP violation. Nevertheless, this quantum bound lies well below current experimental uncertainties, implying that the present precision on $δ_{CP}$ is not fundamentally limited. Our results provide a quantitative framework to disentangle fundamental from practical limitations and establish a benchmark for optimizing future neutrino facilities.Measurements of the Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata (PMNS) neutrino mixing parameters have entered a precision era, enabling increasingly stringent tests of neutrino oscillations.

Quantum Fisher Information Revealing Parameter Sensitivity in Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiments

Bhavna Yadav, Amir Subba, Yu Shi

Determination of the leptonic CP-violating phase $δ_{\rm CP}$ , the atmospheric mixing angle $θ_{23}$ , and the mass-squared difference $Δm_{31}^2$ constitutes a primary objective of current and next-generation long-baseline neutrino experiments. We employ Quantum Fisher Information (QFI) to quantify the maximum information that the neutrino quantum state contains about these oscillation parameters, treating the neutrino as an evolving pure quantum state. Computing the QFI as a function of the baseline-to-energy ratio $L/E$ for benchmark parameter sets from NuFit-6.0, we find distinct sensitivity hierarchies and $L/E$ -dependent structures. Specifically, $δ_{\rm CP}$ and $θ_{23}$ exhibit bimodal QFI profiles with peaks around $L/E \sim 500$ and $1500~\mathrm{km/GeV}$ , reaching $F_Q(δ_{\rm CP}) \sim 0.15$ and $F_Q(θ_{23}) \sim 15$ , respectively. In contrast, $F_Q(Δm_{31}^2)$ increases rapidly with $L/E$ over the range considered, reaching values of order $10^7$ . This hierarchy indicates that, within the considered single-parameter framework, the neutrino state carries substantially greater intrinsic quantum sensitivity to $Δm_{31}^2$ than to $θ_{23}$ or $δ_{\rm CP}$ . We further compare the QFI with the classical Fisher information (CFI) obtained from flavor-transition probabilities, showing how much of the available information can be extracted through this specific measurement. For a fixed DUNE baseline, matter effects substantially enhance the QFI for $δ_{\rm CP}$ in the few-GeV region, while producing only minor modifications for $θ_{23}$ and $Δm_{31}^2$ . These results show that the information available for estimating the three oscillation parameters differs significantly, and that the flavor-probability measurement does not always extract all the information available in the quantum state.Determination of the leptonic CP-violating phase $δ_{\rm CP}$, the atmospheric mixing angle $θ_{23}$, and the mass-squared difference $Δm_{31}^2$ constitutes a primary objective of current and next-generation long-baseline neutrino experiments.

Quantum Information as a New Lens for Precision Neutrino Physics

Khushboo Dixit, Ritam Kundu, Papia Panda +2 more

We present a quantum-information-theoretic study of three-flavor neutrino oscillations in long-baseline experiments by mapping flavor states to qubit-like representations and quantifying quantum correlations through total concurrence. The local minima of this entanglement measure identify energy regions where the flavor state is closest to separability, enabling cleaner extraction of oscillation parameters. We explain how these local minima offer opportunities for precision measurements and provide insight into the accurate determination of neutrino oscillation parameters. We then propose a strategy to improve parameter extraction by aligning the benchmark oscillation regions of NO $ν$ A and T2K with the minimum entanglement achievable in each experiment. This shifts the concurrence minima toward higher-event-count energy regions, leading to tighter constraints and reducing the tension arising from their different energy regimes. For normal ordering, we obtain $(0.581^{+0.0136}_{-0.0150},195^{+38}_{-32}\,^\circ)$ in the $(\sin^2θ_{23},δ_{\rm CP})$ plane and $(0.580^{+0.0140}_{-0.0153},2.515^{+0.0344}_{-0.0344}\times10^{-3}\,\mathrm{eV}^2)$ in the $(\sin^2θ_{23},Δm^2_{31})$ plane, yielding improved joint constraints. Using GLoBES simulations together with real data, we assess how local minima of quantum correlations influence leptonic CP-violation sensitivity, $θ_{23}$ octant-degeneracy resolution, and mass-ordering determination. Our results show that minimizing entanglement can significantly affect these key sensitivities, highlighting quantum information measures as complementary probes of neutrino flavor oscillations and offering new insight into the role of quantum correlations in precision neutrino physics.We present a quantum-information-theoretic study of three-flavor neutrino oscillations in long-baseline experiments by mapping flavor states to qubit-like representations and quantifying quantum correlations through total concurrence.

Information-Theoretic Gaps in Solar and Reactor Neutrino Oscillation Measurements

Neetu Raj Singh Chundawat, Yu-Feng Li

Quantum estimation theory provides a fundamental framework for analyzing how precisely physical parameters can be estimated from measurements. Neutrino oscillations are characterized by a set of parameters inferred from experiments conducted in different production and detection environments. The two solar oscillation parameters, $Δm^2_{21}$ and $θ_{12}$ , can be estimated using both solar neutrino experiments and reactor neutrino experiments. In reactor experiments, neutrinos are detected after coherent vacuum evolution, while solar neutrinos arrive at the detector as incoherent mixtures. In this work, we use Quantum Fisher Information (QFI) to quantify and compare the information content accessible in these two experimental setups. We find that for reactor neutrinos, flavor measurements saturate the QFI bound for both parameters over specific energy ranges, demonstrating their optimality and explaining the high precision achieved by these experiments. In contrast, for solar neutrinos the phase-based contribution to the QFI, originating from the quantum coherence, is absent, rendering the estimation of $Δm_{21}^2$ purely population-based and effectively classical, while the QFI for $θ_{12}$ is dominated by basis rotation at high energies and is nearly saturated by flavor measurements. Consequently, solar neutrino experiments are intrinsically more sensitive to $θ_{12}$ than to $Δm_{21}^2$ . This analysis highlights a fundamental distinction between the two estimation problems and accounts for their differing achievable precisions.Quantum estimation theory provides a fundamental framework for analyzing how precisely physical parameters can be estimated from measurements.

Quantum estimation in neutrino oscillations

Edson C. M. Nogueira, de Souza, Gustavo, Adalberto D. Varizi +1 more

Neutrino oscillations are at the forefront of advances in Physics beyond the Standard Model. Increasing accuracy in measurements of the neutrino mixing matrix is an important challenge in current experiments. It depends on parameters that do not directly correspond to observables of the neutrino system. This type of estimation problem is handled by Quantum Estimation Theory (QET) via the Fisher Information (FI) and the Quantum Fisher Information (QFI). In this work, we analyze two-flavor neutrino oscillations within the framework of QET. We compute the QFI for the mixing angle $θ$ and show that mass measurements are the ones that achieve optimal precision. We also study the FI associated with flavor measurements and show that they are optimized at specific neutrino times-of-flight. Therefore, although the usual population measurement does not realize the precision limit set by the QFI, it can in principle be implemented with the best possible sensitivity to $θ$ . We study how these quantifiers relate to the single-particle, mode entanglement. We demonstrate that this form of entanglement does not enhance neither of them. In particular, this shows that in single-particle settings, entanglement is not directly connected with the optimal precision in metrological tasks.Neutrino oscillations are at the forefront of advances in Physics beyond the Standard Model.
