Abstract

We present the experimental measurement, on a quantum processor, of a series of polynomial lower bounds that to the quantum Fisher information (QFI), a fundamental quantity for certifying multipartite entanglement that is useful for metrological applications. We combine advanced methods of the randomized measurement toolbox to obtain estimators that are robust regarding drifting errors caused uniquely during the randomized measurement protocol. We estimate the QFI for Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states, observing genuine multipartite entanglement. Then we prepare the ground state of the transverse-field Ising model at the critical point using a variational circuit. We estimate its QFI and investigate the interplay between state optimization and noise induced by our increasing the circuit depth. Published by the American Physical Society 2024
