Feedback Ansatz for Adaptive-Feedback Quantum Metrology Training with Machine Learning

Abstract

It is challenging to construct metrology schemes which harness quantum features such as entanglement and coherence to surpass the standard quantum limit. We propose an ansatz for devising adaptive-feedback quantum metrology (AFQM) strategy which reduces greatly the searching space. Combined with the Markovian feedback assumption, the computational complexity for designing AFQM would decrease from $N^7$ to $N^4$ , for N probing systems. The feedback scheme devising via machine learning such as particle-swarm optimization and derivative evolution would thus requires much less time and produces equally well imprecision scaling. We have thus devised an AFQM for 207-partite system. The imprecision scaling would persist steadily for N > 207 when the parameter settings for 207-partite system is employed without further training. Our ansatz indicates an built-in resilience of the feedback strategy against qubit loss. The feedback strategies designed for the noiseless scenarios have been tested against the qubit loss noise and the phase fluctuation noise. Our numerical result confirms great resilience of the feedback strategies against the two kinds of noise.
