Deflective Sunshades: conceptual design and origami-inspired folding strategy

Benedetta Marazzato, Jonas Seiler, Harry Holt +5

Space-based solar radiation management has been proposed as a direct means of modulating Earth's radiative balance by reducing incident solar flux. A prominent concept consists of…

Rydberg Receivers for Space Applications

Gianluca Allinson, Mark Bason, Alexis Bonnin +10

Rydberg-atom sensors convert radiofrequency, microwave and terahertz fields into optical signals with SI-traceable calibration, high sensitivity, and broad tunability. This review…

Spoofing resilience for simple-detection quantum illumination LIDAR

Richard J. Murchie, John Jeffers

Object detection and range finding using a weak light source is vulnerable to jamming and spoofing attacks by an intruder. Quantum illumination with nonsimultaneous, phase-insensit…

Detection of isolated specular reflection for calibration of cloud thermodynamic phase estimation with quantum parametric mode sorting LIDAR

Richard J. Murchie, Dolf Huybrechts, Aaron Strangfeld +1

Specular reflection can be problematic for the determination of the cloud thermodynamic phase for near-nadir-pointing space LIDARs. A LIDAR system biased towards the specular contr…

Object detection and rangefinding with quantum states using simple detection

Richard J. Murchie, Jonathan D. Pritchard, John Jeffers

In a noisy environment with weak single levels, quantum illumination can outperform classical illumination in determining the presence and range of a target object even in the limi…

Demonstration of quantum-enhanced rangefinding robust against classical jamming

Mateusz P. Mrozowski, Richard J. Murchie, John Jeffers +1

In this paper we demonstrate operation of a quantum-enhanced lidar based on a continuously pumped photon pair source combined with simple detection in regimes with over 5 orders of…

Theoretical comparison of quantum and classical illumination for simple detection-based LIDAR

Richard J. Murchie, Jonathan D. Pritchard, John Jeffers

Use of non-classical light in a quantum illumination scheme provides an advantage over classical illumination when used for LIDAR with a simple and realistic detection scheme based…
