Quantum illumination (QI) promises unprecedented performances in target detection but there are various problems surrounding its implementation. Where target ranging is a concern, signal and idler recombination forms a crucial barrier to the protocols success. This could potentially be mitigated if performing a measurement on the idler mode could still yield a quantum advantage. In this paper we investigate the QI protocol for a generically correlated Gaussian source and study the phase-conjugating (PC) receiver, deriving the associated SNR in terms of the signal and idler energies, and their cross-correlations, which may be readily adapted to incorporate added noise due to Gaussian measurements. We confirm that a heterodyne measurement performed on the idler mode leads to a performance which asymptotically approaches that of a coherent state with homodyne detection. However, if the signal mode is affected by heterodyne but the idler mode is maintained clean, the performance asymptotically approaches that of the PC receiver without any added noise.

We investigate the effect of noisy channels in a classical information transfer through a multipartite state which acts as a substrate for the distributed quantum dense coding protocol between several senders and two receivers. The situation is quali
tatively different from the case with one or more senders and a single receiver. We obtain an upper bound on the multipartite capacity which is tightened in case of the covariant noisy channel. We also establish a relation between the genuine multipartite entanglement of the shared state and the capacity of distributed dense coding using that state, both in the noiseless and the noisy scenarios. Specifically, we find that in the case of multiple senders and two receivers, the corresponding generalized Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states possess higher dense coding capacities as compared to a significant fraction of pure states having the same multipartite entanglement.
Entangled states like two-mode squeezed vacuum states 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 s
tates as probes for the single-shot quantum illumination both in the presence and absence of noise. 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 are referred to as a quantum advantage in illumination, we classify the performance of non-Gaussian states, when photons are added (subtracted) in (from) a single mode or in (from) both the modes. We highlight the hierarchy among Gaussian and non-Gaussian states obtained via this method, which is compatible with correlations per unit signal strength. Interestingly, such hierarchy is different when comparisons are made only using the Chernoff bounds. The entire analysis is performed in presence of different noisy apparatus like faulty twin-beam generator, imperfect photon addition or subtraction as well as with noisy non-Gaussian probe states.
Quantum illumination consists in shining quantum light on a target region immersed in a bright thermal bath, with the aim of detecting the presence of a possible low-reflective object. If the signal is entangled with the receiver, then a suitable cho
ice of the measurement offers a gain with respect to the optimal classical protocol employing coherent states. Here, we tackle this detection problem by using quantum estimation techniques to measure the reflectivity parameter of the object, showing an enhancement in the signal-to-noise ratio up to 3 dB with respect to the classical case when implementing only local measurements. Our approach employs the quantum Fisher information to provide an upper bound for the error probability, supplies the concrete estimator saturating the bound, and extends the quantum illumination protocol to non-Gaussian states. As an example, we show how Schru007fodingers cat states may be used for quantum illumination.
Quantum illumination (QI) theoretically promises up to a 6dB error-exponent advantage in target detection over the best classical protocol. The advantage is maximised by a regime which includes a very high background, which occurs naturally when one
considers microwave operation. Such a regime has well-known practical limitations, though it is clear that, theoretically, knowledge of the associated classical benchmark in the microwave is lacking. The requirement of amplifiers for signal detection necessarily renders the optimal classical protocol here different to that which is traditionally used, and only applicable in the optical domain. In this work we outline what is the true classical benchmark for microwave QI using coherent states, providing new bounds on the error probability and closed formulae for the receiver operating characteristic (ROC), for both optimal (based on quantum relative entropy) and homodyne detection schemes. We also propose an alternative source generation procedure based on coherent states which demonstrates potential to reach classically optimal performances achievable in optical applications. We provide the same bounds and measures for the performance of such a source and discuss its potential utility in the future of room temperature quantum detection schemes in the microwave.
Quantum illumination is the task of determining the presence of an object in a noisy environment. We determine the optimal continuous variable states for quantum illumination in the limit of zero object reflectivity. We prove that the optimal single
mode state is a coherent state, while the optimal two mode state is the two-mode squeezed-vacuum state. We find that these probes are not optimal at non-zero reflectivity, but remain near optimal. This demonstrates the viability of the continuous variable platform for an experimentally accessible, near optimal quantum illumination implementation.
