TY  - JOUR
AB - We introduce the task of anonymous metrology, in which a physical parameter of an object may be determined without revealing the object's location. Alice and Bob share a correlated quantum state, with which one of them probes the object. Upon receipt of the quantum state, Charlie is then able to estimate the parameter without knowing who possesses the object. We show that quantum correlations are resources for this task when Alice and Bob do not trust the devices in their labs. The anonymous metrology protocol moreover distinguishes different kinds of quantum correlations according to the level of desired security: discord is needed when the source of states is trustworthy, otherwise entanglement is necessary.
