Controlling multiparameter quantum estimation in exciton-optomechanics system

Abstract:Multiparameter quantum estimation has emerged as a central task in quantum metrology. In this work, we investigate multiparameter quantum estimation in a hybrid exciton--optomechanical (EOM) system. The system consists of a semiconductor quantum well embedded inside a driven optomechanical microcavity, where the excitonic, optical, and mechanical modes interact coherently through exciton--photon and radiation-pressure couplings. Using the Gaussian-state formalism, we derive the covariance matrix of the steady-state quantum fluctuations and employ both the symmetric logarithmic derivative (SLD) and right logarithmic derivative (RLD) approaches to evaluate the quantum Fisher information matrix associated with the simultaneous estimation of the exciton--photon coupling strength $g$ and the excitonic decay rate $k_x$. We analyze the corresponding quantum Cramér--Rao bounds and determine the most informative precision limit governing the attainable estimation accuracy. The influence of several experimentally relevant parameters, including temperature, driving power, optomechanical coupling strength, and dissipation rates, is investigated in detail. Our results show that strong hybrid interactions and low-temperature regimes significantly enhance the estimation precision, whereas thermal fluctuations and dissipation processes deteriorate the metrological performance. Furthermore, we compare the ultimate quantum limits with experimentally feasible Gaussian measurement strategies based on homodyne and heterodyne detection. We show that heterodyne detection provides better estimation performance than homodyne schemes and can approach the optimal quantum precision limit in suitable parameter regimes.
