Optimal distributed sensing in noisy environments

We consider distributed sensing of nonlocal quantities. We introduce quantum enhanced protocols to directly measure any (scalar) field with a specific spatial dependence by placing sensors at appropriate positions and preparing a spatially distributed entangled quantum state. Our scheme has optimal...
