Hyperon-antihyperon system in electron-positron annihilation as quantum probes for temperature estimation with local and global dephasing

We investigate quantum thermometry in Ohmic-type reservoirs using two-qubit probes within an exactly solvable pure-dephasing framework. By analyzing the individual variance associated with temperature estimation, we identify optimal regimes governed by the Ohmicity parameter $s$, the deviation angle $\theta$, and the decay coefficients $\alpha$ and $\beta$, thereby determining the conditions that minimize estimation errors. The Quantum Fisher Information (QFI) exhibits pronounced maxima at finite interaction times, especially in sub-Ohmic and Ohmic environments at low temperatures, whereas super-Ohmic reservoirs flatten the QFI peak and shift the optimal sensitivity toward higher temperatures. Consistently, the quantum signal-to-noise ratio (QSNR) is suppressed at low temperatures, increases with thermal excitation, and saturates in the high-temperature regime, where the influence of spectral details becomes negligible. A comparative study of mutual and local estimation strategies shows that common-bath configurations, particularly for $\Sigma^+$ and $\Sigma^0$ probes, outperform local baths at short interaction times due to bath-induced correlations, while local environments become advantageous at longer times. The analysis further reveals finite optimal values of both the interaction time $t_{\rm opt}$ and the temperature $T_{\rm opt}$, as well as a strong reduction of the variance with increasing measurement number in the low-temperature regime. In addition, our study of hyperon-antihyperon channels ($\Lambda$, $\Sigma^+$, $\Sigma^0$, $\Xi^-$, $\Xi^0$) shows that entanglement and quantum discord remain remarkably robust over broad angular domains, whereas steering and Bell nonlocality are confined to narrower regions. Overall, the interplay between spectral structure, particle-dependent parameters, and estimation strategy provides valuable ...

Relativistic Quantum Thermometry in AdS Spacetime via Non-Markovian Temperature Sensing

Quantum thermometry based on single-qubit sensor configurations enables the precise estimation of the temperature of a cosmological Anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime. In this work, we characterize the achievable estimation accuracy using the Quantum Fisher Information (QFI) and the associated quantum signal-to-noise ratio. For the first time, we introduce an ancillary Unruh-DeWitt detector between the sensor and the thermal bath, enhancing thermometric sensitivity by channeling temperature-dependent information into the probe qubit's coherence. We examine how detector acceleration in AdS space and the choice of boundary conditions modify the probe's thermal sensitivity. Despite the differing geometries, a unified phenomenology emerges: we characterize the scaling of the QFI with respect to temperature, detector energy gap, spacetime curvature, and interaction time. Finally, we identify optimal state preparation and measurement strategies that maximize the QFI, thereby establishing the fundamental limits of precision for non-Markovian sensing in curved spacetime.

Hermitian vs non-Hermitian quantum thermometry

We investigate the dephasing dynamics of a qubit as an effective mechanism for estimating the temperature of its surrounding environment for different symmetrizes. Our approach is fundamentally quantum, leveraging the qubit's susceptibility to decoherence without necessitating thermal equilibrium with the system under study. We also examine how symmetry properties affect the accuracy of information retrieval and the robustness of quantum information storage in such systems, highlighting their potential advantages in mitigating decoherence effects. The optimization of quantum Fisher information is performed with respect to both the interaction duration and the environmental temperature, focusing on Ohmic-like spectral density environments. Furthermore, we explicitly identify the optimal qubit measurement that attains the quantum Cramer-Rao bound for precision. Our findings reveal that optimal estimation arises from a complex interplay between the qubit's dephasing dynamics and the Ohmic characteristics of the environment with a particular focus on non-Hermitian systems that exhibit enhanced resilience to decoherence. Notably, optimal estimation does not occur when the qubit reaches a stationary state nor under conditions of complete dephasing.

Multiparticle Quantum Heat Engine: Exploring the Impact of Criticality on Efficiency

Quantum many-body systems present substantial technical challenges from both analytical and numerical perspectives. Despite these difficulties, some progress has been made, including studies of interacting atomic gases and interacting quantum spins. Furthermore, the potential for criticality to enhance engine performance has been demonstrated, suggesting a promising direction for future investigation. Here, we explore the performance of a quantum Otto cycle using a long-range Ising chain as the working substance. We consider an idealized cycle consisting of two adiabatic transformations and two perfect thermalizations, eliminating dissipation. Analyzing both engine and refrigerator modes, we investigate the influence of particle number, varied from 10 to 100, on efficiencies and behavior near the critical point of the phase transition, which we characterize using a scaling factor. We also examine how internal factors; specifically, the power-law exponent, the number of particles, and the hot and cold reservoir temperatures, affect the system's operation in different modes. Our results reveal that these factors have a different impact compared to their classical counterparts.
