1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Quantum metrology has emerged as a powerful tool for timekeeping, field sensing, and precision measurements in fundamental physics. With the advent of distributed quantum metrology, its capabilities have extended to probing spatially distributed parameters across networked quantum systems. However, scalable implementations of distributed quantum metrology with multiparameter estimation remain limited, particularly due to the challenges of generating and distributing entanglement across a quantum network and dealing with incompatibilities in multiparameter quantum metrology. Here we demonstrate distributed multiparameter quantum metrology on a modular superconducting quantum network with low-loss microwave interconnects, a platform that uniquely combines fast gate operations, adaptive control, and deterministic non-local entanglement generation. Using a control-enhanced sequential protocol, we estimate all three components of a remote vector field, achieving up to 13.72 dB improvement in precision over the individual strategy. We further perform direct estimation of vector field gradients along two directions across spatially separated nodes, realizing a 3.44 dB gain over local entanglement strategies. These results establish superconducting quantum networks as a competitive and reconfigurable platform for scalable multiparameter distributed quantum metrology.
