contents In quantum multiparameter estimation, multiple to-be-estimated parameters are encoded in a quantum dynamics system by a unitary evolution. As the parameters vary, the system may undergo a topological phase transition (TPT). In this paper, we investigate two SU(2) TPT models and propose the singular behavior of the quantum metric tensor around the TPT point as a tool for the simultaneous optimal estimation of multiple parameters. We find that the proposed TPT sensing protocol can achieve the same metrology performance as the quantum-control-enhanced one. Moreover, the probe state of the TPT sensing protocol is only the ground state of the Hamiltonian rather than the entangled state required in the control-enhanced one. In addition, an adaptive multiparameter estimation strategy is developed for updating the estimated values until the desired quantum Cramér-Rao bound is approached. Our work reinforces the connection between quantum multiparameter estimation and topology physics, with potential inspiration for quantum critical metrology.
