Although for some nonlocal variables the standard quantum measurements which are reliable, instantaneous, and nondemolition, are impossible, demolition reliable instantaneous measurements of all variables are possible. It is shown that this is correct also in the framework of the time-symmetric quantum formalism, i.e. nonlocal variables of composite quantum systems with quantum states evolving both forward and backward in time are measurable in a demolition way. The result follows from the possibility to reverse with certainty the time direction of backward evolving quantum states.

Measurements leading to the collapse of states and the non-local quantum correlations are the key to all applications of quantum mechanics as well as in the studies of quantum foundation. The former is crucial for quantum parameter estimation, which is greatly affected by the physical environment and the measurement scheme itself. Its quantification is necessary to find efficient measurement schemes and circumvent the non-desirable environmental effects. This has led to the intense investigation of quantum metrology, extending the Cramér–Rao bound to the quantum domain through quantum Fisher information. Among all quantum states, the separable ones have the least quantumness; being devoid of the fragile non-local correlations, the component states remain unaffected in local operations performed by any of the parties. Therefore, using these states for the remote design of quantum states with high quantum Fisher information can have diverse applications in quantum information processing; accurate parameter estimation being a prominent example, as the quantum information extraction solely depends on it. Here, we demonstrate that these separable states with the least quantumness can be made extremely useful in parameter estimation tasks, and further show even in the case of the shared channel inflicted with the amplitude damping noise and phase flip noise, there is a gain in Quantum Fisher information (QFI). We subsequently pointed out that the symmetric W states, incapable of perfectly teleporting an unknown quantum state, are highly effective for remotely designing quantum states with high quantum Fisher information.
