AI 中文摘要
量子计量协议通常包括四个步骤：态制备、演化、测量和数据处理。通常在设计方案时，前三个步骤被优先考虑，因为它们包含所有量子元素。数据分析一般被视为附加部分，隐含假设这一步表现良好，因此可应用标准数据技术。然而情况可能更微妙，比如可用数据有限时。在有限数据量子计量中，数据分析技术和估计器成本函数的选择很重要，贝叶斯分析需要未知参数的可靠先验分布。有趣的是当没有这样的先验时该怎么办。在这项工作中，我们考虑詹姆斯 - 斯坦估计器在有限数据测量多个未知参数时如何能带来显著优势，且重要的是不需要任何先验分布。我们通过将此方法应用于简单量子计量方案来证明优势。
英文摘要
Quantum metrology protocols typically consist of four steps: state preparation, evolution, measurement, and data processing. Often, the first three steps are prioritised when designing a scheme as they contain all the quantum elements. The data analysis is generally considered an add-on with an implicit assumption that this step is well behaved and so standard data techniques can be applied. However, the situation can be more nuanced, such as when the available data are limited. In limited-data quantum metrology the choice of data analysis technique and cost function of the estimator is of great importance, and a reliable prior distribution of the unknown parameters is required for Bayesian analysis. An interesting question is what we should do when no such prior is available. In this work, we consider how the James-Stein estimator can give significant advantages when measuring multiple unknown parameters with limited data and, importantly, does not require any prior distribution. We demonstrate the advantage by applying this methodology to simple quantum metrology schemes.
