Entanglement-Assisted Joint Monostatic-Bistatic Radars

Abstract

With the help of entanglement, we can build quantum sensors with sensitivity better than that of classical sensors. In this paper we propose an entanglement assisted (EA) joint monostatic-bistatic quantum radar scheme, which significantly outperforms corresponding conventional radars. The proposed joint monostatic-bistatic quantum radar is composed of two radars, one having both wideband entangled source and EA detector, and the second one with only an EA detector. The optical phase conjugation (OPC) is applied on the transmitter side, while classical coherent detection schemes are applied in both receivers. The joint monostatic-bistatic integrated EA transmitter is proposed suitable for implementation in LiNbO3 technology. The detection probability of the proposed EA joint target detection scheme outperforms significantly corresponding classical, coherent states-based quantum detection, and EA monostatic detection schemes. The proposed EA joint target detection scheme is evaluated by modelling the direct radar return and forward scattering channels as both lossy and noisy Bosonic channels, and assuming that the distribution of entanglement over idler channels is not perfect.

Entanglement Assisted Radars With Transmitter Side Optical Phase Conjugation and Classical Coherent Detection

Ivan B. Djordjević

Entanglement is a unique quantum information processing feature. With the help of entanglement we can build quantum sensors whose sensitivity is better than that of classical sensors. In this paper we are concerned with the entanglement assisted (EA) bistatic quantum radar applications. By employing the optical phase conjugation (OPC) on transmitter side and classical coherent detection on receiver side we show that the detection probability of the proposed EA target detection scheme is significantly better than that of corresponding classical and coherent states-based quantum detection schemes. The proposed EA target detection scheme is evaluated by modelling the radar return channel as the lossy and noisy Bosonic channel and assuming imperfect distribution of entanglement over the idler channel.

On Entanglement-Assisted Multistatic Radar Techniques

Ivan B. Djordjević

Entanglement-based quantum sensors have much better sensitivity than corresponding classical sensors in a noisy and lossy regime. In our recent paper, we showed that the entanglement-assisted (EA) joint monostatic-bistatic quantum radar performs much better than conventional radars. Here, we propose an entanglement-assisted (EA) multistatic radar that significantly outperforms EA bistatic, coherent state-based quantum, and classical radars. The proposed EA multistatic radar employs multiple entangled transmitters performing transmit-side optical phase conjugation, multiple coherent detection-based receivers serving as EA detectors, and a joint detector.

Entanglement Assisted MIMO Quantum Radars

Ivan B. Djordjević

In this invited paper, we describe our entanglement assisted (EA) MIMO quantum radar technique with multiple entangled transmitters and coherent detection-based receivers. This scheme exploits the phase sensitive quantum correlation on the receivers’ sides to improve the receiver sensitivity. To increase overall signal-to-noise ratio, we use the spatial MIMO concept. To reduce the system cost and complexity, the optical phase conjugation (OPC) on signal photons is performed on a transmitter side, so that commercially available classical, balanced coherent detectors can be used on receiver side instead of traditional OPC-based EA receivers.

Quantum Radar Cross Section with two-photon entangled states

Sunghwa Kang, Jihwan Kim, Zaeill Kim +7 more

We study two-photon entangled states for quantum radar cross section (QRCS), which is an extension of a single-photon QRCS formula. Since signal-idler entanglement does not provide any enhancement of the QRCS [Brandsema's PhD Thesis (2017)], we focus on signal-signal entanglement and derive the corresponding biphoton QRCS. We show that it can provide an enhancement over the single-photon QRCS and two-photon separable QRCS, where the performance is evaluated for various two-dimensional target geometries in monostatic/bistatic configurations. Furthermore, using the double-Gaussian approximation, we derive QRCS formula for biphoton states with arbitrary degree of entanglement and compute the resulting scattering patterns.
