Abstract

We show that when a suitable entanglement-generating unitary operator depending on a parameter is applied on N qubits in parallel, a precision of the order of 2−N in estimating the parameter may be achieved. This exponentially improves the precision achievable in classical and in quantum nonentangling strategies.
