The performances of quantum thermometry in thermal equilibrium together with the output power of certain class of quantum engines share a common characteristic: both are determined by the heat capacity of the probe or working medium. After noticing that the heat capacity of spin ensembles can be significantly modified by collective coupling with a thermal bath, we build on the above observation to investigate the respective impact of such collective effect on quantum thermometry and quantum engines. We find that the precision of the temperature estimation is largely increased at high temperatures, reaching even the Heisenberg scaling-inversely proportional to the number of spins. For Otto engines operating close to the Carnot efficiency, collective coupling always enhances the output power. Some tangible experimental platforms are suggested.

High profits from soft serve and frozen beverages can be easy if a few simple things are learned about the products and a few steps are taken to purchase the right equipment. Once a decision has been made on the products to sell, it must be decided what type of equipment to buy and the capacity needed to match the operation's needs. Machines can be floor-mounted although many, especially those used at bars, are countertop models. Also, production capacity is a critical factor. Capacity requirement must be based on peak demand but, unlike other types of equipment, oversizing can lead to unsatisfactory product results. Last, regardless of the type of product served, most health departments require the equipment to be cleaned and sanitized daily.
