Abstract
Entanglement preparation and signal accumulation are essential for quantum parameter estimations, which pose significant challenges to both theories and experiments. Here, we propose how to utilize chaotic dynamics in a periodically driven Bose-Josephson system for achieving high-precision measurements beyond the standard quantum limit (SQL). Starting from an initial nonentangled state, the chaotic dynamics generates many-body quantum entanglement and simultaneously encodes the parameter to be estimated. By using suitable chaotic dynamics, the ultimate measurement precision of the estimated parameter can beat the SQL. The sub-SQL measurement precision scaling can also be reached via specific observables, such as collective spin measurement, which can be realized with state-of-art techniques. Our study not only provides insights for understanding quantum chaos and quantum-classical correspondence, but also of promising applications in entanglement-enhanced quantum metrology.
