摘要
We investigate schemes for Hamiltonian parameter estimation of a two-level system using repeated measurements in a fixed basis. The simplest (Fourier based) schemes yield an estimate with a mean-square error (MSE) that decreases at best as a power law similar to N-2 in the number of measurements N. By contrast, we present numerical simulations indicating that an adaptive Bayesian algorithm, where the time between measurements can be adjusted based on prior measurement results, yields a MSE which appears to scale close to exp(-0.3N). That is, measurements in a single fixed basis are sufficient to achieve exponential scaling in N.
