Controlling and measuring the temperature in different devices and platforms that operate in
the quantum regime is, without any doubt, essential for any potential application. In this …

The dynamical convergence of a system to the thermal distribution, or Gibbs state, is a
standard assumption across all of the physical sciences. The Gibbs state is determined just …

We upper bound and lower bound the optimal precision with which one can estimate an
unknown Hamiltonian parameter via measurements of Gibbs thermal states with a known …

The Gibbs state is widely taken to be the equilibrium state of a system in contact with an
environment at temperature T. However, non-negligible interactions between system and …

A paradigm shift in quantum thermometry is proposed. To date, thermometry has relied on
local estimation, which is useful to reduce statistical fluctuations once the temperature is very …

An important result in classical stochastic thermodynamics is the work fluctuation-dissipation
relation (FDR), which states that the dissipated work done along a slow process is …

We study the statistics of work, dissipation, and entropy production of a quantum quasi-
isothermal process, where the system remains close to thermal equilibrium along the …

We address the dephasing dynamics of a qubit as an effective process to estimate the
temperature of its environment. Our scheme is inherently quantum, since it exploits the …

By solving the exact master equation of open quantum systems, we formulate the quantum
thermodynamics from weak to strong couplings. The open quantum systems exchange …

Precise thermometry for quantum systems is important to the development of new
technology, and understanding the ultimate limits to precision presents a fundamental …
