Long distance quantum illumination and ranging using polarization entangled photon pairs in a lossy environment

Sujai Matta, Soumya Asokan, Sanchari Chakraborti +3

Using polarization entangled photon pairs, we demonstrate a robust scheme for quantum illumination and ranging in a lossy environment. Entangled photon pairs are generated in a Sag…
