- Title: Multi-spin probes for thermometry in the strong-coupling regime
- Authors: Marlon Brenes and Dvira Segal
- Abstract summary: We study the sensitivity of thermometric probes composed of $N$ spins coupled to a sample prepared at temperature $T$.
We find that for single-spin probes $(N = 1)$, temperature sensitivity decreases in the regime of weak-to-intermediate coupling strength.
As the coupling increases we observe much higher sensitivity of the probe in the low-temperature regime.

- Abstract: We study the sensitivity of thermometric probes that are composed of $N$
spins coupled to a sample prepared at temperature $T$. Our analysis extends
beyond the weak-coupling limit into the strong sample-probe coupling regime. In
particular, sample-induced interactions between each of the spins are generated
via strong coupling effects and are not fine-tuned amongst each body composing
the probe. By employing the reaction-coordinate mapping to evaluate the
non-canonical equilibrium state of the probe at finite coupling, we compute the
thermometric sensitivity via the quantum Fisher information through the
equilibrium state itself. We find that for single-spin probes $(N = 1)$,
temperature sensitivity decreases in the regime of weak-to-intermediate
coupling strength, however, as the coupling increases we observe much higher
sensitivity of the probe in the low-temperature regime. Furthermore, as long as
$N > 1$, there exist optimal values of the sample-probe interaction energy that
allow one to attain enhanced thermometric sensitivity when compared to the
maximum achieved precision obtained from thermal Gibbs states at weak coupling,
particularly in the regime of low temperature. Finally, we show that this
enhanced sensitivity may be observed from suboptimal measurements.

We develop a general perturbative theory of finite-coupling quantum thermometry up to second order in probe-sample interaction.
By assumption, the probe and sample are in thermal equilibrium, so the probe is described by the mean-force Gibbs state.
We prove that the ultimate thermometric precision can be achieved - to second order in the coupling.
