We address estimation of temperature for finite quantum systems at thermal equilibrium and show that the Landau bound to precision δT2 ∝ T2, originally derived for a classical not too small system being a portion of a large isolated system at thermal equilibrium, may be also achieved by energy measurement in microscopic quantum systems exhibiting vanishing gap as a function of some control parameter. On the contrary, for any quantum system with a nonvanishing gap Δ, precision of any temperature estimator diverges as δT2 ≳ T4eΔ/T.

Abstract
We address estimation of temperature for finite quantum systems at thermal equilibrium and show that the Landau bound to precision δT2 ∝ T2, originally derived for a classical not too small system being a portion of a large isolated system at thermal equilibrium, may be also achieved by energy measurement in microscopic quantum systems exhibiting vanishing gap as a function of some control parameter. On the contrary, for any quantum system with a nonvanishing gap Δ, precision of any temperature estimator diverges as δT2 ≳ T4eΔ/T.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
