contents Quantum optimal control (QOC) schemes can be employed to enhance the sensitivity of quantum metrology (QM) protocols undergoing Markovian noise, which can limit their precision to a standard quantum limit (SQL)-like scaling. In this paper, we propose a QOC scheme for QM that leverages entanglement and optimized coupling interactions with an ancillary system to provide enhanced metrological performance under general Markovian dynamics. We perform a comparative analysis of our entanglement-enhanced scheme against the unentangled scheme conventionally employed in QOC-enabled QM for varying evolution times and decoherence levels, revealing that the entanglement-enhanced scheme enables significantly better noise performance, even when a noisy ancilla is employed. We further extend our investigation to time-inhomogeneous noise models, specifically focusing on a noisy frequency estimation scenario within a spin-boson bath, and evaluate the protocol's performance under completely dissipative and dephasing dynamics. Our findings indicate that, in certain situations, schemes employing coherent control of a single particle are severely limited. In such cases, employing the entanglement-enhanced scheme can provide improved performance.
