- Abstract: Quantum illumination uses a quantum state of the electromagnetic field to
detect the presence of a target against a bright background more sensitively
than any classical state. Most often, the quantum state is a two-mode squeezed
vacuum consisting of signal and idler modes with a non-zero phase-sensitive
cross correlation, which serves as the signature for target detection, and a
zero phase-insensitive cross correlation, which means the modes produce no
fringes in second order interference. Here it is shown that applying
phase-sensitive amplification to the idler modes of a two-mode squeezed vacuum
results in a non-zero phase-insensitive cross correlation enabling reception by
a simple beam splitter and photodetectors. It is shown that quantum
illumination with a parametrically amplified idler has a lower probability of
error than an asymptotically optimal classical-state scheme in discriminating
between a present target and an absent target with equal prior probabilities.

Injecting a non-Gaussian (Fock or Shr"odinger cat) quantum state into the dark port of a two-arm interferometer and a strong classical light into the bright one, it is possible to detect a given phase shift unambiguously.
The optical losses degrade the sensitivity, introducing the finite "false positive" and "false negative" detection errors.
Using the state-of-art photodetectors, it is still possible to obtain better detection fidelity than in the case of Gaussian quantum states.

Bosonic quantum error correcting codes are primarily designed to protect against single-photon loss.
Error correction requires a recovery operation that maps the error states -- which have opposite parity -- back onto the code states.
Here, we realize a collection of photon-number-selective, simultaneous photon addition operations on a bosonic mode.
