• Abstract summary: Entangled states, like the two-mode squeezed vacuum state, are known to give quantum advantage in the illumination protocol. We use non-Gaussian photon-added and -subtracted states, affected by local Gaussian noise on top of the omnipresent thermal noise, as probes in the illumination protocol.

• Abstract: Entangled states, like the two-mode squeezed vacuum state, are known to give quantum advantage in the illumination protocol, a method to detect a weakly reflecting target submerged in a thermal background. We use non-Gaussian photon-added and -subtracted states, affected by local Gaussian noise on top of the omnipresent thermal noise, as probes in the illumination protocol. Based on the difference between the Chernoff bounds obtained with the coherent state and the non-Gaussian state having equal signal strengths, whose positive values denote quantum advantage in illumination, we highlight the hierarchy among non-Gaussian states, which is compatible with correlations per unit signal strength, although the Gaussian states offer the best performance. Interestingly, such hierarchy is different when comparisons are made using the Chernoff bounds. The entire analysis is performed in the presence of different imperfect apparatus like faulty twin-beam generator, imperfect photon addition (subtraction) as well as with noisy non-Gaussian probe states.

  We show that non-Gaussian measurements can achieve near-optimal coherent state discrimination. We explicitly design two coherent state discrimination protocols based on non-Gaussian detection and unitary operations. Our results show that we can achieve error rates close to the Helstrom bound at low energies with continuously labelled measurements.

  We show that signal-to-noise ratio and quantum Fisher information are equivalent to Quantum Illumination (QI) in the limit of zero object reflectivity. We further demonstrate this equivalence by investigating QI protocols employing non-Gaussian states, which are obtained by de-Gaussifying the two-mode squeezed vacuum state with photon addition and photon subtraction.

  We propose observable bounds for Gaussian illumination to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio. In the quantum regime using a two-mode squeezed vacuum state, our observable receiver outperforms the other feasible receivers. The corresponding observable cannot be implemented with heterodyne detections due to the additional vacuum noise.
