Detecting entanglement with a thermometer

We present a general argument showing that the temperature as well as other thermodynamical state variables qualify as entanglement witnesses for spatial entanglement. This holds for a variety of systems and we exemplify our ideas using a simple non-interacting Bosonic gas. We find that entanglement can exist at arbitrarily high temperatures, provided that we can probe smaller and smaller regio...

Probing Maxwell's demon with a nanoscale thermometer.

A precise definition for a quantum electron thermometer is given, as an electron reservoir coupled locally (e.g., by tunneling) to a sample, and brought into electrical and thermal equilibrium with it. A realistic model of a scanning thermal microscope with atomic resolution is then developed, including the effect of thermal coupling of the probe to the ambient environment. We show that the tem...

An Imaging Radiation Thermometer

For many years radiation thermometers have been used to make non-contact temperature measurements of hot objects, particularly in industrial situations such as reformer furnaces, steel reheat furnaces, and ceramics kilns. They occupy an important niche in temperature measurement since any other type of thermometer would have very slim chances of surviving in these and other such hostile environ...

An improved tele-thermometer.

A thermistor leaf thermometer.

An instrument is described which allows measurements of leaf temperature within about 0.3 C. It consists of a special thermistor probe, a small circuit box, and a standard ammeter. The circuit box can easily be fixed to the meter and contains a battery, which passes 0.3 milliampere through the thermistor, and also contains an integrated circuit amplifier, so that the meter reads 20 C full scale...
