| contents | Biphoton frequency comb (BFC), which encompasses multiple discrete frequency modes and represents high-dimensional frequency entanglement, is crucial in quantum information processing due to its high information capacity and error resilience. It also holds significant potential for enhancing timing precision in quantum metrology. Here, we examine quantum metrology timing limits using the BFC as a probe state and derive a quantum Cramér-Rao bound that scales quadratically with the number of frequency modes. Under ideal conditions (zero loss and perfect visibility), this bound can be saturated by both spectrally non-resolved Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) interferometry at zero delay and spectrally resolved HOM interferometry at arbitrary delays. In particular, under imperfect experimental conditions, Fisher information rapidly increases up to its maximum as the mode number increases for a fixed time delay close to zero, indicating that increasing the mode number is an optimal strategy for improving the timing precision in practice. Furthermore, compared with spectrally non-resolved measurement, spectrally resolved measurement is a better strategy due to its higher Fisher information, shorter measurement times, and ambiguity-free dynamic range. |
