We develop a general perturbative theory of finite-coupling quantum thermometry up to second order in probe-sample interaction. By assumption, the probe and sample are in thermal equilibrium, so the probe is described by the mean-force…

A central challenge in quantum metrology is identifying optimal measurements that saturate the quantum Cramer-Rao bound under realistic constraints, e.g., local measurements. We show that symmetries of the probe state provide a general…

A genuine feature of projective quantum measurements is that they inevitably alter the mean energy of the observed system if the measured quantity does not commute with the Hamiltonian. Compared to the classical case, Jacobs proved that…
