Abstract

We investigate the speed at which entanglement can be generated by an interaction parameter encoded in a two-qubit Hamiltonian, quantified by the derivative of concurrence with respect to the coupling parameter. For arbitrary pure two-qubit states evolving under a general nonlocal interaction, we derive a bound relating this entanglement speed to the quantum Fisher information (QFI). Specifically, we show that $|\partial_g C| \le \sqrt{F_Q^{(g)}} \sqrt{1-C^2}$, where $F_Q^{(g)}$ is the QFI associated with estimation of the parameter. This establishes $\sqrt{F_Q}\sqrt{1-C^2}$ as an upper bound on the speed of entanglement generation in parameter space. We further derive the saturation conditions and identify the states and dynamical regimes for which equality is attained. At saturation, concurrence evolves at the maximum rate permitted by the distinguishability of the underlying quantum state. These results reveal a direct connection between quantum metrology and entanglement generation, showing that the same information-theoretic quantity that governs parameter-estimation precision also limits the speed at which entanglement resources can be created.

Quantum Fisher Information as the Speed Limit for Multipartite Entanglement

Zain H. Saleem, Da-Wei Luo, Anjala M. Babu +3 more

We derive a universal upper bound on the speed of multipartite entanglement generation. For arbitrary differentiable pure multipartite states undergoing parameter-dependent evolution, we prove that the rate of change of generalized concurrence is bounded by the square root of the quantum Fisher information (QFI). The proof follows directly from the symmetric logarithmic derivative formalism, revealing the bound as a consequence of quantum estimation theory, while a complementary Schmidt-spectrum analysis identifies the conditions for saturation and yields a tighter bound for rank-two bipartitions. We illustrate these results in interacting many-body spin models and investigate their behavior across the quantum phase transition of the transverse-field Ising model. At the critical point, we find that the QFI can be strongly enhanced while the generalized concurrence is nearly stationary and its sensitivity to the coupling is suppressed. This demonstrates that the enhanced parameter sensitivity associated with quantum criticality need not arise from rapid changes in the magnitude of multipartite entanglement.

Information-Geometric Bound on the Robustness of Entanglement Generation

Zain H. Saleem

Entanglement generation is a central resource for quantum information processing, quantum networking, and quantum sensing. In practical implementations, however, entangling interactions are inevitably subject to uncertainty and fluctuations in the interaction strength. We investigate the robustness of entanglement generation in the presence of such imperfections and establish a direct connection between the robustness of entanglement generation and quantum Fisher information (QFI). For two interacting qubits, we show that the reduction in concurrence caused by fluctuations in the interaction parameter is bounded by the QFI with respect to the interaction strength.

Mathematical Analysis of Entanglement Measures and Maximized Quantum Fisher Information

Volkan Erol

Entanglement measures such as concurrence, negativity and REE are well-known tools for quantifying non-classical correlations in quantum systems. However, these measures can lead to different state orderings for non-maximally entangled states. On the other hand, Quantum Fisher Information (QFI), while not an entanglement measure, provides a framework for analyzing a state's metrological potential. In this study, we numerically analyze the relationship between these entanglement measures and QFI for a large ensemble of random two-qubit states. We specifically focus on the maximized QFI (MQFI) obtained through local unitary rotations. Our findings demonstrate a strong correlation between entanglement and a state's metrological capacity, confirming that entanglement is a valuable resource. We show that while a state's QFI with a fixed generator can vary widely for a given entanglement value, local optimization to find the MQFI leads to a tighter, more predictable relationship. Our results also reinforce the principle that the metrological performance of all mixed states is fundamentally bounded by the theoretical limit of pure states. The polynomial fit equations for the upper and lower bounds of our data provide a quantitative description of these complex relationships.

Entanglement response to Temperature in Interacting Two-Qubit Thermal States

Zain H. Saleem, Iram Saleem

We investigate the response of entanglement to temperature variations in interacting two-qubit thermal states. For a general two-qubit interaction Hamiltonian, we derive exact expressions for the thermal concurrence, its first and second derivatives with respect to inverse temperature, and the thermal quantum Fisher information. We show that the rate of change of thermal entanglement is bounded by the thermal quantum Fisher information. We further derive a bound relating entanglement curvature and thermal quantum Fisher information, and show that temperature uncertainty induces a loss of entanglement bounded by the same quantity that determines thermometric sensitivity. These results establish thermal quantum Fisher information as a fundamental constraint on the response and robustness of entanglement in interacting two-qubit thermal states.

Factorization dynamics between quantum Fisher information and quantum coherence

Xinzhi Zhao, Xinglei Yu, Liangsheng Li +2 more

Quantum Fisher information (QFI) quantifies the sensitivity of a quantum state to a parameter change and plays a key role in quantum metrology. Meanwhile, quantum coherence is a crucial resource for quantum information processing. However, despite extensive studies on various aspects of quantum metrology, the interplay between the dynamics of the QFI and quantum coherence remains unexplored. Here, we explore the factorization relationship between the QFI and quantum coherence, both theoretically and experimentally. We prepare pure states in qubit and qutrit systems and apply unitary evolution to investigate this relationship. Our results confirm the factorization law, offering strong evidence for this relationship. Furthermore, we establish a lower bound on the variance of the estimated parameter that does not require the final state information. This approach reveals a deep connection between the QFI and quantum coherence, providing insights into quantum parameter estimation. These findings have potential applications in quantum sensing and quantum metrology.
