Classical-driving-enhanced parameter-estimation precision of a non-Markovian dissipative two-state system

Abstract

The dynamics of quantum Fisher information (QFI) of the phase parameter in a driven two-state system is studied within the framework of non-Markovian dissipative process. The influences of memory effects, classical driving and detunings on the parameter-estimation precision are demonstrated by exactly solving the Hamiltonian under rotating-wave approximation. In sharp contrast with the results obtained in the presence of Markovian dissipation, we find that classical driving can drastically enhance the QFI, namely, the precision of parameter estimation in the non-Markovian regime. Moreover, the parameter-estimation precision may even be preserved from the influence of surrounding non-Markovian dissipation with the assistance of classical driving. Remarkably, we reveal that the enhancement and preservation of QFI highly depend on the combination of classical driving and non-Markovian effects. Finally, a phenomenological explanation of the underlying mechanism is presented in detail via the quasimode theory
