• Abstract summary: We build a theory of global quantum thermometry to estimate temperatures in cases where few measurement data or no substantial prior knowledge are available. Based on scaling arguments, a mean logarithmic error is shown here to be the correct figure of merit for thermometry. We apply these results to the simulated outcomes of measurements on a spin gas, finding that the local approach can lead to biased temperature estimates.

• Abstract: 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 well known. In order to estimate temperatures in cases where few measurement data or no substantial prior knowledge are available, we build instead a theory of global quantum thermometry. Based on scaling arguments, a mean logarithmic error is shown here to be the correct figure of merit for thermometry. Its full minimisation provides an operational and optimal rule to post-process measurements into a temperature reading, and it establishes a global precision limit. We apply these results to the simulated outcomes of measurements on a spin gas, finding that the local approach can lead to biased temperature estimates in cases where the global estimator converges to the true temperature. The global framework thus enables a reliable approach to data analysis in thermometry experiments.

  We propose an adaptive Bayesian framework that substantially boosts the performance of cold atom temperature estimation. Unlike conventional methods, our proposal systematically avoids capturing and processing uninformative data. We are able to produce much more reliable estimates, especially when the measured data are scarce and noisy.

• Thermometry of Gaussian quantum systems using Gaussian measurements [6.308539010172309]
  We study the problem of estimating the temperature of Gaussian systems with feasible measurements. For a class of single-mode states that includes thermal ones, the optimal Gaussian measurement is either Heterodyne or Homodyne, depending on the temperature regime. We show that Gaussian measurements become optimal in the limit of large temperatures, while on/off photo-detection-like measurements do it for when the temperature tends to zero.
