Temperature Gets a New Definition Using a Quantum Device
Physicists have demonstrated a quantum temperature sensor that uses oversized rubidium atoms, offering a direct, calibration‑free definition of the kelvin. Traditional sensors depend on a chain of calibrated devices, each traced back to national institutes like NIST, introducing cumulative uncertainties. The new device reads temperature from quantum statistical properties, eliminating the need for external references. Early tests show an order‑of‑magnitude improvement in measurement precision over the best commercial thermometers.
