Optimal time for sensing in open quantum systems

ORAL

Abstract

We study the time-dependent quantum Fisher Information (QFI) in a simple open quantum system satisfying the Gorini-Kossakowski-Sudarshan-Lindblad master equation and

demonstrate that the conventional definition of the QFI can fail to correlate with the system dynamics. A modified form of the QFI is proposed that is shown to be superior and allows us to determine the optimal time for sensing in these open quantum systems. We also study the dynamics of the system from an effective non-Hermitian dynamics standpoint and use it to understand the scaling of quantum Fisher information with size of the system.
