Operational Meaning of Dynamical Total Coherence in Single-Parameter Quantum Channel Estimation

Aug 2026 · Chinese Physics B · 0 citations

Abstract

We establish the rigorous operational meaning of dynamical total coherence within the resource non-increasing (RNI) framework for the task of single-parameter quantum channel estimation. By connecting distance-based and maximal-increment-based dynamical coherence measures with the right-logarithmic-derivative (RLD) Fisher information and the Cramér-Rao bound (CRB), we prove that each dynamical coherence measure directly determines the fundamental precision limit of channel parameter estimation. We show that the diamondnorm measure yields a tight error lower bound, the induced trace-norm measure gives a simplified bound for device-limited scenarios, the relative-entropy measure governs the asymptotic error-exponent rate, the l 2 -based measure quantifies the precision gain from optimal input states, and the RLD-Fisher-based measure provides an achievable error upper bound. This work unifies dynamical resource theory with quantum channel estimation and endows dynamical total coherence with clear, task-oriented operational significance.

Anomaly fluctuation theorem for quantum coherence dynamics

Quantum coherence is a central resource in quantum information science, yet general frameworks and constraints governing its dynamics remain limited. Although quantum coherence lacks a general monotonicity law, we establish an exact integral fluctuation theorem (FT) for coherence dynamics, formulated in terms of Kirkwo...

Non-Hermitian-enhanced quantum sensing in an optical interferometer

The precision of quantum parameter estimation is traditionally constrained by the quantum Cram\'{e}r-Rao bound, which is based on the Hermitian measurement framework. Recent studies of non-Hermitian systems have suggested new possibilities for enhancing parameter-estimation sensitivity. Here, we experimentally realize...

Unifying quantum measurement constructions via a relative-entropy minimum change principle

The minimum change principle provides an information-theoretic characterization of the Bayes reversal channel in classical probability theory and has recently been proposed as a framework for extending Bayes'rule to quantum information theory. Using quantum relative entropy, we investigate a minimum change principle fo...

The Shape of Information: Global Information Geometric Limits in Multi-task Quantum Systems

Future quantum networks are expected to perform multiple tasks simultaneously within a single system, such as integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) architectures. Despite various metrics, we find that the evaluation of multiple tasks can be unified by their information capacity, and the total task capacity is not...

Non-Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser Quantum Sensors for Quantum Parameter Estimation

Non-KAM (Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser) systems, when subjected to weak time-dependent perturbations, exhibit an abrupt transition to classical chaos through the breakdown of invariant phase-space tori. We showcase the utilization of non-KAM systems in the quantum regime as quantum sensors, leveraging their sensitivity at \t...
