“…From measurements on these probes, intensive parameters, like temperature, chemical potential, or couplings of Hamiltonians or of dissipators, are infered with a sensitivity given by the inverse of the quantum Fisher Information. Thermal probes are crucial for both fundamental issues and technological applications (Benedict, 1984;Childs, 2001;Giazotto et al, 2006). Estimations with dissipative dynamics (Alipour et al, 2014;Bellomo et al, 2009Bellomo et al, , 2010aZhang and Sarovar, 2015) are also instances of process tomography (Baldwin et al, 2014;Bendersky and Paz, 2013;Merkel et al, 2013;Mohseni et al, 2008) with partial prior knowledge.…”
