In my talk, I will discuss recent progress in applying the concept of classical and quantum Fisher information to the problem of estimating system parameters in complex environments, such as inside or behind a disordered medium. In particular, I will demonstrate how Fisher Information can be maximised through wavefront shaping and quantum state engineering \[1,2\]. Quite interestingly, the density and flux of Fisher information satisfy a fundamental continuity equation – in analogy to the Poynting theorem for the density and flux of energy in a radiation field \[3\]. If time permits, I will also say a few words about how such concepts can be generalised to the flow of Fisher Information through Artificial Neural Networks.
