Abstract

We derive ultimate precision bounds for estimating parameters encoded in time-dependent Hamiltonians in the presence of general Markovian noise, allowing for arbitrary adaptive protocols with fast controls and noiseless ancillas. Extending the minimization-over-purifications framework to time-varying continuous channels, we obtain a differential upper bound on the achievable quantum Fisher information (QFI) that can be evaluated at all times via semidefinite programming. For parameter-independent noise, we prove a universal long-time scaling law: if the coherent (noiseless) dynamics yields Qcoh(T)sim T2k, then under Markovian noise the QFI scales at most as Q(T)sim T2k in the DHNLS regime, whereas in the DHLS regime it is fundamentally limited to Q(T)sim T2k-1. We illustrate these behaviors on paradigmatic driven-qubit sensors, exhibiting T4 and T3 scalings under dephasing and spontaneous emission, respectively. Finally, we provide explicit continuous exact and approximate quantum error correction constructions - supplemented by spin-squeezed probes - that asymptotically saturate the bounds, establishing their tightness.
