Multi-parameter estimation enhanced by level crossing Hamiltonian structure with Bayesian feedback

Level crossings, where two quantum energy levels intersect, are ubiquitous in quantum systems and play a central role in controlling quantum dynamics. In this study, we establish a framework that connects these level crossing structures to the ultimate precision limits of quantum metrology. By analyzing a Hamiltonian with the level crossings structure, we identify the conditions under which multiple parameters can be estimated simultaneously with maximal sensitivity near the level crossing point. We then construct a resource efficient sensing protocol based on unitary quench dynamics and Bayesian estimation, enabling high precision, low cost parameter estimation without requiring entanglement or complex control. We present a protocol whose estimation precision saturates the Holevo Cramer Rao bound, the tightest achievable precision bound in multi parameter estimation. Using the two level model and the two spin Ising model as illustrative examples, we demonstrate how the protocol can be applied to a system with level crossing Hamiltonian structure. Our findings reveal that level crossings serve as universal operating points for precision quantum metrology, offering a simple and scalable path toward practical multi parameter sensing across diverse quantum platforms.
