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

Analytical Bounds for Nonasymptotic Asymmetric State Discrimination
TL;DR: This work gives explicit expressions bounding the set of achievable errors, using the trace norm, the fidelity, and the quantum Chernoff bound, and shows that the upper bound is asymptotically tight and the lower bound is exact for pure states.

Quantum Illumination for Improved Detection, Imaging, and Communication
TL;DR: Quantum illumination transmits part of an entangled state, retaining the rest for subsequent joint measurement in detection, imaging, or communication It outperforms classical state systems of the same average transmitted energy over entanglement-breaking channels.
A Family of Neyman-Pearson-Based Detectors for Noise-Type Radars
TL;DR: The probability distribution of the Neyman-Pearson-based detectors when there is a mismatch between the pre-chosen parameter value and the true correlation coefficient is derived and it turns out that the resulting detector is not only a good one, but that it has appeared previously in the quantum radar literature.

Comparison of correlation performance for various measurement schemes in quantum bipartite radar and communication systems
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors compared the performance of different correlation methods for different types of quantum radar measurement schemes, such as the immediate detection of the idler photon events to be used in post-processing correlation with the signal photon events, the instantaneous detection of idler electric (cid:12)eld, and the conventional analog correlation method of the optical parametric ampli(cid 12)er.
