We present a general “fit-free” method for measuring the equation of state (EoS) of a scale-invariant gas. This method, which is inspired from the procedure introduced by Ku et al. [Science 335, 563 (2012)] for the unitary three-dimensional Fermi gas, provides a general formalism which can be readily applied to any quantum gas in a known trapping potential, in the frame of the local density approximation. We implement this method on a weakly interacting two-dimensional Bose gas across the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition and determine its EoS with unprecedented accuracy in the critical region. Our measurements provide an important experimental benchmark for classical-field approaches which are believed to accurately describe quantum systems in the weakly interacting but nonperturbative regime.
