Quantum enhanced radar for short range applications

Quantum radars allow to enhance performances of conventional systems by exploiting high order correlations between entangled states of light using quantum illumination protocols. Such systems can be used for short mid-range applications such as unmanned aerial system (UAS) detection or target detection in degraded visual environments (DVE). <br/> <br/> In this work we present computational simulations of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of a binary classifier system implementing quantum and classical resources for real case applications comparing benefits and drawbacks given current technological capabilities.
