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

When Should We Use Likelihood Ratio Target Detection with QTMS Radar and Noise Radar
TL;DR: In this article, the potential application of a generalized likelihood ratio (GLR)-based detector function to quantum two-mode squeezing (QTMS) radars and standard noise radars was analyzed and an expression for the likelihood ratio was given in terms of the maximum-likelihood estimate of the correlation coefficient between the received and reference signals of the radar.

An agnostic-Dolinar receiver for coherent states classification
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the problem of discriminating quantum states with complete classical knowledge about them, and the task of classifying quantum states, where the task is to distinguish two classes of quantum states where no prior classical information is available but a finite number of physical copies of each classes are given.

Quantum Readout of Imperfect Classical Data
TL;DR: In this article , an optimized quantum sensing protocol is proposed to maximize the readout accuracy in presence of imprecise writing in an ideal optical memory, where the information is encoded in two values of reflectance of a collection of cells.
