- Abstract: Quantum superposition of energy eigenstates can appear autonomously in a
single quantum two-level system coupled to a low-temperature thermal bath, if
such coupling has a proper composite nature. We propose here a principally
different and more feasible approach employing engineered interactions between
two-level systems being thermalized into a global Gibbs state by weakly coupled
thermal bath at temperature $T$. Therefore, in such case quantum coherence
appears by a different mechanism, whereas the system-bath coupling does not
have to be engineered. We demonstrate such autonomous coherence generation
reaching maximum values of coherence. Moreover, it can be alternatively built
up by using weaker but collective interaction with several two-level systems.
This approach surpasses the coherence generated by the engineered system-bath
coupling for comparable interaction strengths and directly reduces phase
estimation error in quantum sensing. This represents a necessary step towards
the autonomous quantum sensing.

A thermal coherent state can be realized using a thermally driven two-level system longitudinally coupled to a resonator.
We find that the state of the resonator is a thermal coherent state, while the two-level system remains thermal.
In this context, the resonator functions as a probe to measure the unknown temperature of a bath mediated by a two-level system.
