Abstract
Quantum metrology explores quantum effects to improve the measurement accuracy of some physical quantities beyond the classical limit. However, due to the interaction between the system and the environment, the decoherence can significantly reduce the accuracy of the measurement. Many methods have been proposed to restore the accuracy of the measurement in the long-time limit. Recently, it was found that the bound state can help improve measurement accuracy and recover the scaling [Bai et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 040402 (2019)]. Here, by using qubits, we propose a method to simulate the open quantum dynamics of a hybrid system including one atom and coupled resonators. We find that the error of the measurement can decrease as the time increases due to the existence of the bound state. With both analytical and numerical simulations, we prove the scaling of the measurement error can be recovered when there is a bound state in the hybrid system. Interestingly, we observe that there are regular oscillations which can be used for the evaluation of the atomic transition frequency. For a finite , the duration of the regular oscillations doubles as one more qubit is involved.
