| Popis: | Measuring the temperature of a quantum system is an essential task in almost all aspects of quantum technologies. Theoretically, an optimal strategy for thermometry requires measuring energy which demands full accessibility over the entire system as well as complex entangled measurement basis. In this paper, we take a different approach and show that single qubit sequential measurements in the computational basis not only allows precise thermometry of a many-body system but may also achieve precision beyond the theoretical bound, avoiding demanding energy measurements at equilibrium. To obtain such precision, the time between the two subsequent measurements should be smaller than the thermalization time so that the probe never thermalizes. Therefore, the non-equilibrium dynamics of the system continuously imprint information about temperature in the state of the probe. This allows the sequential measurement scheme to reach precision beyond the accuracy achievable by complex energy measurements on equilibrium probes. Comment: 9 pages main text, 8 figures.
