Role of the extended Hilbert space in the attainability of the Quantum Cramér-Rao bound for multiparameter estimation (2404.01520v1)

Published 1 Apr 2024 in quant-ph

Abstract: The symmetric logarithmic derivative Cram\'er-Rao bound (SLDCRB) provides a fundamental limit to the minimum variance with which a set of unknown parameters can be estimated in an unbiased manner. It is known that the SLDCRB can be saturated provided the optimal measurements for the individual parameters commute with one another. However, when this is not the case the SLDCRB cannot be attained in general. In the experimentally relevant setting, where quantum states are measured individually, necessary and sufficient conditions for when the SLDCRB can be saturated are not known. In this setting the SLDCRB is attainable provided the SLD operators can be chosen to commute on an extended Hilbert space. However, beyond this relatively little is known about when the SLD operators can be chosen in this manner. In this paper we present explicit examples which demonstrate novel aspects of this condition. Our examples demonstrate that the SLD operators commuting on any two of the following three spaces: support space, support-kernel space and kernel space, is neither a necessary nor sufficient condition for commutativity on the extended space. We present a simple analytic example showing that the Nagaoka-Hayashi Cram\'er-Rao bound is not always attainable. Finally, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the attainability of the SLDCRB in the case when the kernel space is one-dimensional. These results provide new information on the necessary and sufficient conditions for the attainability of the SLDCRB.
