I was amazed to learn that we can use Imaginary unit iota into physical quantities like time and Temperature but how exactly?

The explanation was not something I would say stellar so I am hoping can anyone explain Imaginary Time and Temperature and other Imaginary physical quantities wrt quantum mechanics and what is wick's rotation?

Where have you seen time or temperature expressed as an imaginary number? – Bob D Dec 12 '19 at 19:24
Does this answer your question? What is the physical interpretation of the Wick rotation? – infinitezero Dec 12 '19 at 19:29
