Introduction to quantum radar

Quantum Physics 2021-01-19 v3 Applied Physics

Abstract

After a brief introduction to the notion of quantum entanglement and quantum correlations, several schemes for a quantum radar based upon the quantum illumination and others protocols are discussed. We review different concepts that have been introduced to overcome several of the inherent difficulties in the implementation of quantum generation and/or detection quantum sensing protocols for RADAR applications. Our review is an up-to date critical presentation of the state of the art, with emphasis in the case by case assessment of the feasibility of the different concepts. We also aim that the review is accessible to non-experts in the field. Hence several appendixes and a technical glossary are included.
