RT Journal Article T1 Signal estimation and coherence A1 Ares Santos, Laura A1 Luis Aina, Alfredo AB We address the relation between quantum metrological resolution and quantum coherence. We develop a quantum version of the Wiener-Khintchine theorem for a suitable model of a quantum ruler, putting the contributions of the probe and measurement on equal footing. We illustrate this approach with several examples of linear metrology.
