The paper identifies a gap in assessing the feasibility of local unbiased estimation in quantum state estimation and quantum channel estimation. The gap is due to the fact that local unbiased estimation may become infeasible when the noise affecting the estimation process is not fully characterized. The paper aims to fill this gap by deriving necessary and sufficient conditions for local unbiased estimation.
