| contents | We study local phase estimation for a single quantum emitter coupled to a bosonic Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) bath within a microscopic lattice model. Dimerization opens a central gap supporting an in-gap emitter-bath bound state, which suppresses complete relaxation of the emitter coherence. A Dyson-equation analysis yields the local bath Green's function, the in-gap bound-state condition, and the emitter residue controlling the retained phase information. The phase quantum Fisher information links gap formation, detuning, and emitter-bath coupling to the post-transient metrological response. At resonance, stronger coupling enhances transient hybridization but reduces the retained signal by lowering the emitter weight in the bound state. Away from resonance, late-time averages, retention times, and useful interrogation windows track how phase-information protection weakens as the emitter is tuned toward and beyond the band edge. A uniform-chain control shows that the retained signal disappears when the gap closes. In the bulk local-coupling geometry considered here, the response is insensitive to the sign of the dimerization, so the protocol probes spectral-gap physics and bound-state support rather than the SSH winding sector. |
