We present sensitivity limits for a multimode interferometer as matrix bounds for the covariance matrix. Quantum strategies to improve the precision beyond classical limits may consist in entanglement among the modes or among the particles.

Entanglement verification becomes hard when dealing with large quantum systems. By treating this task probabilistically, we certify entanglement with high confidence in an experimental photonic six-qubit cluster state by using only a few detection events.

It has recently been shown that if two completely depolarizing channels are in a superposition of different orders, classical information can be transmitted that would be otherwise lost [1]. Here, we present a generalization of the results of [1] to study communication with arbitrary depolarizing channels and putting to good use indefinite causal order, a new paradigm for quantum information/computation.
