We consider the problem of probe-based quantum thermometry, and show that machine classification can provide reliable estimates over a broad range of scenarios. Our approach is based on the $k$-nearest-neighbor algorithm. Temperature is divided into bins, and the machine trains a predictor based on data from observations at different times (obtained e.g. from computer simulations or other experiments). This yields a predictor, which can then be used to estimate the temperature from new observations. The algorithm is flexible, and works with both populations and coherences. It also allows to incorporate other uncertainties, such as lack of knowledge about the system-probe interaction strength. The proposal is illustrated in the paradigmatic Jaynes-Cummings and Rabi models. In both cases, the mean-squared error is found to decrease monotonically with the number of data points used, showing that the algorithm is asymptotically convergent. This, we argue, is related to the well behaved data structures stemming from thermal phenomena, which indicates that classification may become an experimentally relevant tool for thermometry in the quantum regime.
We introduce a general framework for thermometry based on collisional models, where ancillas probe the temperature of the environment through an intermediary system. This allows for the generation of correlated ancillas even if they are initially ind
The performances of quantum thermometry in thermal equilibrium together with the output power of certain class of quantum engines share a common characteristic: both are determined by the heat capacity of the probe or working medium. After noticing t
As the minituarization of electronic devices, which are sensitive to temperature, grows apace, sensing of temperature with ever smaller probes is more important than ever. Genuinely quantum mechanical schemes of thermometry are thus expected to be cr
Precise thermometry for quantum systems is important to the development of new technology, and understanding the ultimate limits to precision presents a fundamental challenge. It is well known that optimal thermometry requires projective measurements
Controlling and measuring the temperature in different devices and platforms that operate in the quantum regime is, without any doubt, essential for any potential application. In this review, we report the most recent theoretical developments dealing
