Discontinuity and Protection of Quantum Fisher Information for a Two-Qubit System^*

We analytically investigate the dynamics of quantum Fisher information of two qubits in independent environments for both uncorrelated and entangled input states. Especially, we observe that, in the non-Markovian regime and resonant case, quantum Fisher information of uncorrelated input state vanishes only at discrete time point whereas that of entangled input state can disappear during finite time interval. It shows that quantum Fisher information, which determines the parameter estimation precision, is strongly affected by the environment memory effects, and the advantage of entanglement-enhance metrology no longer exists even for a very short time. We also note that quantum Fisher information for two kinds of input states can be preserved under appropriate qubit-reservoir detuning.
