By making the optimum joint measurement on the light received from the target region together with the retained spontaneous parametric down-conversion idler beam, the quantum-illumination system realizes a 6 dB advantage in the error-probability exponent over the optimum reception coherent-state system.Abstract:
An optical transmitter irradiates a target region containing a bright thermal-noise bath in which a low-reflectivity object might be embedded. The light received from this region is used to decide whether the object is present or absent. The performance achieved using a coherent-state transmitter is compared with that of a quantum-illumination transmitter, i.e., one that employs the signal beam obtained from spontaneous parametric down-conversion. By making the optimum joint measurement on the light received from the target region together with the retained spontaneous parametric down-conversion idler beam, the quantum-illumination system realizes a 6 dB advantage in the error-probability exponent over the optimum reception coherent-state system. This advantage accrues despite there being no entanglement between the light collected from the target region and the retained idler beam.read more

Observable bound for Gaussian illumination
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors proposed observable bounds for Gaussian illumination to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio, which minimizes the discrimination error between the presence and absence of a low-reflectivity target using Gaussian states.

Entanglement-assisted multiple-access channels: capacity regions and protocol designs
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the bosonic thermal-loss multiple-access channel and solved the entanglement-assisted (EA) classical capacity region with an arbitrary number of senders, which was conjectured by Hsieh, Devetak and Winter.

Range detection using entangled optical photons
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a conceptual architecture of a quantum radar which uses entangled optical photons based on Spontaneous Parametric Down Conversion (SPDC) methods after the entangled photons are created and emerge from the crystal, the idler photon is detected very shortly thereafter At the same time, the signal photon is sent out towards the target and upon its reflection will impinge on the detector of the radar from these two measurements, correlation data processing is done to obtain the distance of the target away from the radar.

TL;DR: In this paper, a connection between the Fourier heat equation and the Schrodinger wave equation is made, where the independent "time" variable in the heat equation is replaced by the time variable multiplied by $i=\sqrt{-1}, which is known as the Schroodinger equation.
