Abstract

We propose a quantum metrology protocol for the localization of a non-cooperative point-like target in three-dimensional space, by illuminating it with electromagnetic waves. It employs all the spatial degrees of freedom of N entangled photons to achieve an uncertainty in localization that is sqrt(N) times smaller for each spatial direction than what could be achieved by N independent photons.
