Bayesian estimation for collisional thermometry
arXiv:2106.12072 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.105.012212
Abstract
Quantum thermometry exploits the high level of control in coherent devices to offer enhanced precision for temperature estimation. This highlights the need for constructing concrete estimation strategies. Of particular importance is collisional thermometry, where a series of ancillas are sent sequentially to probe the system's temperature. In this paper we put forth a complete framework for analyzing collisional thermometry using Bayesian inference. The approach is easily implementable and experimentally friendly. Moreover, it is guaranteed to always saturate the Cramer-Rao bound in the long-time limit. Subtleties concerning the prior information about the system's temperature are also discussed, and analyzed in terms of a modified Cramer-Rao bound associated to Van Trees and Schützenberger.
