This letter proposes a Bayesian channel estimation method that leverages on the priori information provided by Electromagnetic Digital Twin's (EM-DT) representation of environment. The proposed approach is compared with several conventional techniques in terms Normalized Mean Square Error (NMSE), spectral efficiency, and number pilots. Simulations prove more than $10\,$dB gain NMSE efficiency comparable to ideal state information, for different signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values....
