Abstract: Thermometry is a fundamental parameter estimation problem which is crucial in the development process of natural sciences. One way to solve this problem is to the extensive used local thermometry theory, which makes use of the classical and quantum Cram\'er-Rao bound as benchmarks of thermometry precision. However, such a thermometry theory can only be used for decreasing temperature fluctuations around a known temperature value and hardly tackle the precision thermometry problem over a wide temperature range. For this reason, we derive two basic bounds on thermometry precision in the global setting and further show their thermometry performance by two specific applications, i.e., noninteracting spin-1/2 gas and a general N-level thermal equilibrium quantum probe.

Global Quantum Thermometry [0.0]
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.

Optimal Probes for Global Quantum Thermometry [0.0]
Quantum thermodynamics has emerged as a separate sub-discipline, revising the concepts and laws of thermodynamics, at the quantum scale. Currently, we face two major challenges in quantum thermometry. First, all of the existing optimally precise temperature probes are local, meaning their operation is optimal only for a narrow range of temperatures. Second, aforesaid optimal local probes mandate complex energy spectrum with immense degeneracy, rendering them impractical.
