In distributed quantum sensing the correlations between multiple modes, typically of a photonic system, are utilized to enhance the measurement precision of an unknown parameter. In this work, we investigate the metrological potential of a multimode, tilted Bose-Hubbard system and show that it can allow for parameter estimation at the Heisenberg limit of [N(M-1)T]2, where N is the number of particles, M is the number of modes, and T is the measurement time. The quadratic dependence on the number of modes can be used to increase the precision compared to typical metrological systems with only two atomic modes and does not require correlations between different modes. We show that the limit can be reached by using an optimized initial state given as the superposition of all the atoms occupying the first and last sites. Subsequently, we present strategies that would allow us to obtain quadratic dependence on M of the Fisher information in a more realistic experimental setup.
