Impact of the Unruh effect on the estimation precision of Gaussian channel parameters
arXiv:2606.08905 · doi:10.1103/z3dl-p743
Abstract
Gaussian quantum channels constitute a pivotal physical framework for characterizing the dynamics of Gaussian quantum states. Extensive scholarly attention has been devoted to the estimation of parameters associated with Gaussian channels. However, while previous research has predominantly focused on parameter estimation within inertial frames, the noninertial scenario, particularly in the context of the Unruh effect, remains largely unexplored. In this paper, we analyze the impact of the Unruh effect on the estimation precision of Gaussian channel parameters, with a specific focus on thermal attenuator and thermal amplifier channels. Our findings reveal that the Unruh effect significantly degrades the precision of single-parameter estimation for Gaussian channel parameters when employing both the input coherent state and squeezed vacuum state. For the two-parameter estimation, we further demonstrate that the quantum Cramér-Rao bound serves as an asymptotically achievable precision limit. Consistent with the single-parameter case, the Unruh effect exerts a detrimental impact on the precision of two-parameter estimation. Notably, heterodyne measurement is near-optimal for both single- and two-parameter estimation in the limit of high acceleration or large thermal mean numbers. These results provide crucial theoretical insights and practical guidance for advancing quantum parameter estimation in a relativistic context.
