Variational quantum state preparation for quantum-enhanced metrology in noisy systems
arXiv:2406.01859 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.110.052615
Abstract
We investigate optimized quantum state preparation for quantum metrology applications in noisy environments. Using the QFI-Opt package, we simulate a low-depth variational quantum circuit (VQC) composed of a sequence of global rotations and entangling operations applied to a chain of qubits that are subject to dephasing noise. The parameters controlling the VQC are numerically optimized to maximize the quantum Fisher information, which characterizes the ultimate metrological sensitivity of a quantum state with respect to a global rotation. We find that regardless of the details of the entangling operation implemented in the VQC, the optimal quantum states can be broadly classified into a trio of qualitative regimes--cat-like, squeezed-like, and product states--associated with different dephasing rates. Our findings are relevant for designing optimal state-preparation strategies for next-generation quantum sensors exploiting entanglement, such as time and frequency standards and magnetometers, aimed at achieving state-of-the-art performance in the presence of noise and decoherence.
