• Authors: Richard J. Murchie, Jonathan D. Pritchard and John Jeffers
• Abstract summary: Use of non-classical light in a quantum illumination scheme provides an advantage over classical illumination when used for LIDAR. We provide an analysis that accounts for the additional information gained when detectors do not fire that is typically neglected. We provide a theoretical framework quantifying performance of both quantum and classical illumination for simple target detection.

• Abstract: Use of non-classical light in a quantum illumination scheme provides an advantage over classical illumination when used for LIDAR with a simple and realistic detection scheme based on Geiger-mode single photon detectors. Here we provide an analysis that accounts for the additional information gained when detectors do not fire that is typically neglected and show an improvement in performance of quantum illumination. Moreover, we provide a theoretical framework quantifying performance of both quantum and classical illumination for simple target detection, showing parameters for which a quantum advantage exists. Knowledge of the regimes that demonstrate a quantum advantage will inform where possible practical quantum LIDAR utilising non-classical light could be realised.

  Given a quantum circuit containing d tunable RZ gates and G-d Clifford gates, can a learner perform purely classical inference to efficiently predict its linear properties? We prove that the sample complexity scaling linearly in d is necessary and sufficient to achieve a small prediction error, while the corresponding computational complexity may scale exponentially in d. We devise a kernel-based learning model capable of trading off prediction error and computational complexity, transitioning from exponential to scaling in many practical settings.

  We investigate Quantum Target Ranging in the context of multi-hypothesis testing and its applicability to real-world LiDAR systems. We demonstrate that ranging is generally an easier task compared to the well-studied problem of target detection. We then analyze the theoretical bounds and advantages of quantum ranging in the context of phase-insensitive measurements.

  Non-Gaussian states of an optical field are important as a proposed resource in quantum information applications.

We conclude that states with strong Wigner negativity can be prepared at high rates by this technique under experimentally attainable conditions.
