Gaussian beam quantum radar protocol

Quantum Physics 2023-09-22 v1

Abstract

We present an entangled quantum radar protocol. It consists in scanning the sky with a thin Gaussian beam and measuring the travel time of the radiation reflected from the target, as in conventional radars. Here the Gaussian beam is composed of NN photons entangled in the frequency degrees of freedom. We show that this provides a N\sqrt{N} quantum enhancement over the unentangled case, as is usual in quantum metrology.
