Advancing Quantum Temperature Sensors for Ultra-Precise Measurements (UPMs): A Comparative Study

Abstract

In this study, we compared the performance of quantum temperature sensors (QTSs) with conventional sensors (CSs), highlighting differences in measurement accuracy and stability. Quantum sensors (QSs), known for their ability to provide ultra-precise measurements (UPMs), were tested across a temperature range of −10 to 40 °C. The results indicate that QSs offer superior accuracy, with a lower average error and a smaller standard deviation compared to CSs, indicating better measurement stability. For this comparison, we utilized Python scripts to conduct simulations and statistical analyses, leading to precise and reproducible results. The sensor performance was simulated in a controlled environment, and the obtained data were compared with experimental results. This comparison reveals that QSs are more reliable for applications requiring high precision, such as those in the Internet of Things (IoT) domain. These findings underscore the potential advantage of QSs in critical systems where measurement accuracy is paramount.
