Quantum dots embedded in a semiconductor can provide sensitive probes of their environment. This work presents a means to use optical measurements of a quantum dot to determine the temperature of the nearby electron reservoir--a property that is difficult to measure in the millikelvin temperature regime, yet key to understanding the many-body interactions in these systems.
