Precision scaling under spatially correlated and non-Markovian dephasing

In plain words

Real noise often hits all atoms together or has memory in time. How the best achievable precision then scales with particle number and time is known only in special cases.

Precise statement

For $N$ qubits sensing a phase under dephasing with spatial correlation function $C(r)$ and temporal spectrum $S(\omega)$, including the non-Markovian Zeno regime, classify the asymptotic scaling exponent of the minimal estimation error with $N$ and total time $T$, and identify the states and measurements attaining it.

What would settle it

Bounds and attaining protocols covering the main classes of correlated noise, with matching exponents.
