While quantum entanglement can enhance the performance of several technologies such as computing, sensing and cryptography, its widespread use is hindered by its sensitivity to noise and losses. Interestingly, even when entanglement has…
Quantum communication is a holy grail to achieve secure communication among a set of partners, since it is provably unbreakable by physical laws. Quantum sensing employs quantum entanglement as an extra resource to determine parameters by…
Entanglement has been known to boost target detection, despite it being destroyed by lossy-noisy propagation. Recently, [Phys. Rev. Lett. 128, 010501 (2022)] proposed a quantum pulse-compression radar to extend entanglement's benefit to…
Quantum radar is generally defined as a detection sensor that utilizes the microwave photons like a classical radar. At the same time, it employs quantum phenomena to improve detection, identification, and resolution capabilities. However,…
Two descriptions are introduced and analyzed for a reflectivity estimation and detection scheme that does not involve measurement of photons scattered by the target. One description, provided by the Hamiltonian dynamics of the full…
The signal half of an entangled twin-beam, generated using spontaneous parametric downconversion, interrogates a region of space that is suspected of containing a target, and has high loss and high (entanglement-breaking) background noise.…
Traditional radar sensing typically involves matched filtering between the received signal and the shape of the transmitted pulse. Under the confinement of classic sampling theorem this requires that the received signals must first be…
Electromagnetic remote sensing technologies such as radar can be mislead by targets that generate spoof pulses. Typically, a would-be spoofer must make measurements to characterize a received pulse in order to design a convincing spoof…
High precision interferometers are the building blocks of precision metrology and the ultimate interferometric sensitivity is limited by the quantum noise. Here we propose and experimentally demonstrate a compact quantum interferometer…

Standard noise radars, as well as noise-type radars such as quantum two-mode squeezing radar, are characterized by a covariance matrix with a very specific structure. This matrix has four independent parameters: the amplitude of the…
Millimeter-wave Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar enables contactless cardiac monitoring, but heartbeat estimation becomes challenging when respiration and random body motion (RBM) distort the radar signal. In this paper, we…
We propose a hetero-homodyne receiver for quantum illumination (QI) target detection. Unlike prior QI receivers, it uses a cascaded positive operator-valued measurement (POVM) that does not require a quantum interaction between QI's…
It has recently become possible to encode the quantum state of superconducting qubits and the position of nanomechanical oscillators into the states of microwave fields. However, to make an ideal measurement of the state of a qubit, or to…
