17. This Letter defines the tightness of a bound by comparing the bound to the achievable error. A QCRB is always less tight to the error than the classical CRB for a particular measurement strategy; see S.L. Braunstein and C.M. Caves, Phys. Rev. Lett. PRLTAO 0031-9007 72, 3439 (1994). 10.1103/PhysRevLett.72.3439
18. This has motivated many studies [see, for example, M.G. Genoni, S. Olivares, and M.G.A. Paris, Phys. Rev. Lett. PRLTAO 0031-9007 106, 153603 (2011)] that analyze the tightness of a QCRB relative to a classical CRB, but the QCRB cannot be tight to the error if the classical CRB is not. 10.1103/PhysRevLett.106.153603
