Quantum Radars and Lidars: Concepts, realizations, and perspectives
arXiv:2206.12585 · doi:10.1109/MAP.2021.3089994
Abstract
In this article, we review the basic concepts of quantum radars as such types of the devices while highlighting differences with their classical analogs. We discuss how several concepts from traditional radars technology, e.g., target detection sensitivity, noise resilience and ranging accuracy can be translated to quantum radars. We examine such new far-field sensing protocols as quantum illumination (QI), and engineering opportunities enabled by its different realizations. We consider possibilities of achieving super-sensitivity and super-resolution using quantum correlations, and discuss possibilities to create quantum correlated states in practice.
