• Abstract summary: We introduce a model of electromagnetic spoofing that includes effects of practical importance that were neglected in prior theoretical studies. We derive the optimal probability of detecting a spoofer allowed by quantum physics. We show that a high degree of certainty in spoof detection can be reached by Bayesian inference from a sequence of received pulses.

• Abstract: Electromagnetic remote sensing technologies such as radar can be mislead by targets that generate spoof pulses. Typically, a would-be spoofer must make measurements to characterize a received pulse in order to design a convincing spoof pulse. The precision of such measurements are ultimately limited by quantum noise. Here we introduce a model of electromagnetic spoofing that includes effects of practical importance that were neglected in prior theoretical studies. In particular, the model includes thermal background noise and digital quantization noise, as well as loss in transmission, propagation, and reception. We derive the optimal probability of detecting a spoofer allowed by quantum physics. We show that heterodyne reception and thresholding closely approaches this optimal performance. Finally, we show that a high degree of certainty in spoof detection can be reached by Bayesian inference from a sequence of received pulses. Together these results suggest that a practically realizable receiver could plausibly detect a radar spoofer by observing errors in the spoof pulses due to quantum noise.

  We analyze the scenario of a classical radar operator trying to detect the presence of a spoofer. We find that in the absence of noise and loss, direct detection tends to produce spoofs with greater fidelity. Our results suggest that entanglement is a novel resource available to quantum radar for detecting spoofing.

  In this paper, an explicit expression for the maximum detection range of an entangled quantum two-mode squeezed (QTMS) radar has been derived. We show that one can view a QTMS radar as a traditional radar with a reduced threshold signal-to-noise ratio. It is possible to implement a QTMS radar with a maximum detection range of up to 2km, which is suitable for recognizing small unmanned aerial vehicles at urban distances.

• Quantum Limits to Classically Spoofing an Electromagnetic Signal [0.0]
  Spoofing an electromagnetic signal involves measuring its properties and preparing a spoof signal that is a close enough copy to fool a receiver. We show that a spoofer optimally employs classical information on the state of the transmitted signal. We show that the quantum limitations on classical spoofing remain significant even in the large mean-photon-number regime.
