Advancements in physics are often motivated/accompanied by advancements in our precision measurements abilities. The current generation of atomic and optical interferometers is limited by shot noise, a fundamental limit when estimating a phase shift with classical light or uncorrelated atoms. In the last years, it has been clarified that the creation of special quantum correlations among particles, which will be called here useful entanglement, can strongly enhance the interferometric sensitivity. Pioneer experiments have already demonstrated the basic principles. We are probably at the verge of a second quantum revolution where quantum mechanics of many-body systems is exploited to overcome the limitations of classical technologies. This review illustrates the deep connection between entanglement and sub shot noise sensitivity.

  1. General method for obtaining the energy minimum of spin Hamiltonians for separable states

    quant-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A method is given to compute the minimum energy of certain spin Hamiltonians over separable states, expressed via quantum Fisher information for Ising models and fidelity for Heisenberg chains.

  2. Assembling Extensive Quantum Fisher Information in Stabilizer Systems

    quant-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A mapping from stabilizer generators to dual Ising spins converts hidden nonlocal order in stabilizer codes into observables with extensive quantum Fisher information density.

  3. Relations between different definitions of the quantum Wasserstein distance for qubits

    quant-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Two quantum Wasserstein distance definitions coincide for qubits with single-operator cost functions, implying the self-distance equals the Wigner-Yanase skew information.
