Our results highlight the general applicability of our method to general quantum platforms, including solid-state spin systems, superconducting quantum computers and trapped ions, hence providing a versatile tool to explore the essential role of the QFI in quantum physics.

We present a method for the direct measurement of the Wigner characteristic function of a thermalizing harmonic oscillator that is completely inaccessible for control or measurement.

By invoking a stable classical clock, the signal phase correlations between successive measurements enable us to extract the target frequency with extremely high precision.

We propose a dynamic framework for quantum sensing with a family of Hamiltonians that undergo quantum phase transitions (QPTs). By giving the formalism of the quantum Fisher information (QFI) for quantum sensing based on critical quantum dynamics, we demonstrate its divergent feature when approaching the critical point.
