Revealing spoofing of classical radar using quantum noise

Jonathan N. Blakely, Shawn D. Pethel, Kurt Jacobs

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…

Quantum Illumination with a Parametrically Amplified Idler

Jonathan N. Blakely

Quantum illumination uses a quantum state of the electromagnetic field to detect the presence of a target against a bright background more sensitively than any classical state. Mos…

Transfer of Spatial Reference Frame Using Singlet States and Classical Communication

Thomas B. Bahder

A simple protocol is described for transferring spatial direction from Alice to Bob (two spatially separated observers) up to inversion. The two observers are assumed to share quan…

Dispersion and fidelity in quantum interferometry

D. S. Simon, A. V. Sergienko, T. B. Bahder

We consider Mach-Zehnder and Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometers with nonclassical states of light as input, and study the effect that dispersion inside the interferometer has on the se…

Factoring integers with Young's N-slit interferometer

John F. Clauser, Jonathan P. Dowling

We show that a Young's N slit interferometer can be used to factor the integer N. The device could factor four- or five-digit numbers in a practical fashion. This work shows how nu…

Comparison of Quantum and Classical Local-field Effects on Two-Level Atoms in a Dielectric

Michael E. Crenshaw

The macroscopic quantum theory of the electromagnetic field in a dielectric medium interacting with a dense collection of embedded two-level atoms fails to reproduce a result that…

The effectiveness of quantum operations for eavesdropping on sealed messages

Paul A Lopata, Thomas B Bahder

A quantum protocol is described which enables a user to send sealed messages and that allows for the detection of active eavesdroppers. We examine a class of eavesdropping strategi…

Fidelity of Quantum Interferometers

Thomas B. Bahder, Paul A. Lopata

For a generic interferometer, the conditional probability density distribution, , for the phase given measurement outcome , will generally have multiple peaks. There…

Effects of Local Fields on Spontaneous Emission in Dielectric Media

Michael E. Crenshaw, Charles M. Bowden

The local-field renormalization of the spontaneous emission rate in a dielectric is explicitly obtained from a fully microscopic quantum-electrodynamical, many-body derivation of L…
