Abstract
We report the noise measurements of a very high resolution thermometer which have reached the limit in temperature resolution set by thermod ynamics. Our data support the idea of temperature fluctuations in the canonical ensemble. It was interpreted by some that the temperature of a subsystem in the canonical ensemble is the temperature of the reser voir, and should not fluctuate. Such an interpretation is not supporte d by our observations.
