• Abstract: Precise thermometry is of wide importance in science and technology in general and in quantum systems in particular. Here, we investigate fundamental precision limits for thermometry on cold quantum systems, taking into account constraints due to finite measurement resolution. We derive a tight bound on the optimal precision scaling with temperature, as the temperature approaches zero. The bound can be saturated by monitoring the non-equilibrium dynamics of a single-qubit probe. We support this finding by accurate numerical simulations of a spin-boson model. Our results are relevant both fundamentally, as they illuminate the ultimate limits to quantum thermometry, and practically, in guiding the development of sensitive thermometric techniques applicable at ultracold temperatures.

  We consider a finite-dimensional quantum system, employed as a quantum thermometer, in contact with a thermal inducing Markov bathian thermalization dynamics. We prove that the sensitivity of the thermometer, quantified by the quantum Fisher information, is enhanced by the quantum coherence in its initial state.
