• Abstract summary: We consider the problem of estimating unknown transmittance $theta$ of a target bathed in thermal background light. As quantum estimation theory yields the fundamental limits, we employ the lossy thermal-noise bosonic channel model. We prove that quantum illumination using two-mode squeezed vacuum states achieves minimal quantum'er-Rao bound frequencies in the limit of low transmitted power.

• Abstract: We consider the problem of estimating unknown transmittance $\theta$ of a target bathed in thermal background light. As quantum estimation theory yields the fundamental limits, we employ the lossy thermal-noise bosonic channel model, which describes sensor-target interaction quantum mechanically in many practical active-illumination systems (e.g., using emissions at optical, microwave, or radio frequencies). We prove that quantum illumination using two-mode squeezed vacuum (TMSV) states asymptotically achieves minimal quantum Cram\'{e}r-Rao bound (CRB) over all quantum states (not necessarily Gaussian) in the limit of low transmitted power. We characterize the optimal receiver structure for TMSV input, and show its advantage over other receivers using both analysis and Monte Carlo simulation.

  Quantum-enhanced sensors, which surpass the standard quantum limit (circuit) and approach the fundamental precision limits dictated by quantum mechanics, are finding applications across a wide range of scientific fields. We introduce entanglement and preserve quantum information among many particles in a sensing circuit. We propose a superconducting-entangled sensor in the microwave regime, highlighting its potential for practical applications in high-precision measurements.

• Microwave Gaussian quantum sensing with a CNOT gate receiver [1.1470070927586016]
  In quantum illumination (QI) correlations between continuous variable (CV) entangled modes of radiation are exploited to detect the presence of a target embedded in thermal noise. Here we propose a new QI receiver that utilizes a CV controlled not gate (CNOT) in order to perform a joint measurement on a target return and its retained twin. Although the main focus of this study is microwave quantum sensing applications, our proposed device can be built as well in the optical domain.

  Microwave or radio-frequency driving poses a significant limitation for miniaturization, energy-efficiency and non-invasiveness of quantum sensors. We overcome this limitation by demonstrating a purely optical approach to coherent quantum sensing.
