Abstract

We discover a universal trade-off between the dissipation required to maintain a quantum state more sensitive than a thermal one and the sensitivity gain for a driven single-mode bosonic system under a thermal environment. Specifically, for Gaussian states, we rigorously derive a lower bound on the entropy production rate in the steady state in terms of the quantum Fisher information gain relative to a thermal reference state. Numerical investigations of Kerr nonlinearities further support that these bounds can hold beyond the Gaussian regime. Our results establish a new connection between steady-state thermodynamics and quantum metrological performance.
