UAB Scientists develop most precise quantum thermometer

A team of scientists at the UniversitatAutonoma de Barcelona or UAB have claimed to have developed the most precise quantum thermometer ever.

They said that the new quantum thermometer ever is capable of measuring accurately. The device is claimed to be enough precise in detecting minute fluctuations in temperature in places including inside a cell. The tam from UAB and University of Nottingham described the fixed limits of thermometry and said that it is difficult for an ordinary thermometer to measure small fluctuations in temperature but the new thermometer is capable of detecting those fluctuations.

The study was a part of the collaboration between the Quantum Correlations Group in Nottingham's School of Mathematical Sciences and the Quantum Information Group at UniversitatAutonoma de Barcelona.

The new quantum thermometer is very small and it has distinctive "quantum" features. The researchers worked with the sensitivity of thermometers that were created with atoms and showed quantum style behaviour. They said that the device can provide an approximation of the temperature with the highest accuracy level ever.

The research results were published today in the journal Physical Review Letters
