  • Quantum Radar
    Quantum Radar Chinese Quantum Physics Breakthrough Enables New Radar Capable of Detecting ‘Invisible’ Targets 100 Kilometers Distant. [21] In the September 23th issue of the Physical Review Letters, Prof. Julien Laurat and his team at Pierre and Marie Curie University in Paris (Laboratoire Kastler Brossel-LKB) report that they have realized an efficient mirror consisting of only 2000 atoms. [20] Physicists at MIT have now cooled a gas of potassium atoms to several nanokelvins—just a hair above absolute zero—and trapped the atoms within a two-dimensional sheet of an optical lattice created by crisscrossing lasers. Using a high-resolution microscope, the researchers took images of the cooled atoms residing in the lattice. [19] Researchers have created quantum states of light whose noise level has been “squeezed” to a record low. [18] An elliptical light beam in a nonlinear optical medium pumped by “twisted light” can rotate like an electron around a magnetic field. [17] Physicists from Trinity College Dublin's School of Physics and the CRANN Institute, Trinity College, have discovered a new form of light, which will impact our understanding of the fundamental nature of light. [16] Light from an optical fiber illuminates the metasurface, is scattered in four different directions, and the intensities are measured by the four detectors. From this measurement the state of polarization of light is detected. [15] Converting a single photon from one color, or frequency, to another is an essential tool in quantum communication, which harnesses the subtle correlations between the subatomic properties of photons (particles of light) to securely store and transmit information.

  • Entanglement Sustainability in Quantum Radar
    Entanglement Sustainability in Quantum Radar Ahmad Salmanogli1,2, Dincer Gokcen1, H. Selcuk Gecim2 1Faculty of Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department, Hacettepe University, Ankara, Turkey. 2Faculty of Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department, Çankaya University, Ankara, Turkey. Abstract Quantum radar is generally defined as a detection sensor that utilizes the microwave photons like a classical radar. At the same time, it employs quantum phenomena to improve detection, identification, and resolution capabilities. However, the entanglement is so fragile, unstable, and difficult to create and to preserve for a long time. Also, more importantly, the entangled states have a tendency to leak away as a result of noise. The points mentioned above enforces that the entangled states should be carefully studied at each step of the quantum radar detection processes as follows. Firstly, the creation of the entanglement between microwave and optical photons into the tripartite system is realized. Secondly, the entangled microwave photons are intensified. Thirdly, the intensified photons are propagated into the atmosphere (attenuation medium) and reflected from a target. Finally, the backscattered photons are intensified before the detection. At each step, the parameters related to the real mediums and target material can affect the entangled states to leak away easily. In this article, the entanglement behavior of a designed quantum radar is specifically investigated. In this study, the quantum electrodynamics theory is generally utilized to analyze the quantum radar system to define the parameters influencing the entanglement behavior. The tripartite system dynamics of equations of motions are derived using the quantum canonical conjugate method. The results of simulations indicate that the features of the tripartite system and the amplifier are designed in such a way to lead the detected photons to remain entangled with the optical modes.

  • Low Observable Principles, Stealth Aircraft and Anti-Stealth Technologies
    Journal of Computations & Modelling, vol.4, no.1, 2014, 129-165 ISSN: 1792-7625 (print), 1792-8850 (online) Scienpress Ltd, 2014 Low Observable Principles, Stealth Aircraft and Anti-Stealth Technologies Konstantinos Zikidis (Maj, HAF)1, Alexios Skondras (2nd Lt, HAF)2, Charisios Tokas (2nd Lt, HAF)3, Abstract During the last decades, stealth technology has proven to be one of the most effective approaches as far as the endeavor to hide from radar systems is concerned. Especially for military aircraft, “stealth” or “low observable” technology has become ubiquitous: all new aircraft types are designed taking into account low observable principles and techniques, while existing jet fighters are considered for modification in order to reduce their radar signature. Low radar signature for a target means that it is detected and tracked at a shorter distance from a radar. However, low observable does not mean no observable, i.e., complete disappearance from the radar screens. Furthermore, stealthiness comes at a price. Apart from the development cost, stealth aircraft have higher flyaway cost and important maintenance costs, while they have significant operational limitations due to the specific aircraft shape imposed and materials used, and also due to the limited fuel and weapons, which have to be carried internally. Any pylon, tank, missile or pod carried externally increases the radar signature. Having realized the capabilities of stealth aircraft, many countries have been developing anti-stealth technologies. The following systems have been reported to be potential counter-stealth approaches: passive / multistatic radars, very low frequency radars, over-the-horizon radars and sensitive IR sensor systems.

  • Detection of the Quantum Illumination Measurement
    Detection of the Quantum Illumination Measurement Michal Krelina∗1,2 1 Quantum Phi s.r.o., Bryksova 944/27, 18000 Prague, Czech Republic, 2 Czech Technical University in Prague, Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering, Brehova 7, 11519 Prague, Czech Republic June 25, 2019 Abstract In this report, we discuss possibilities to detect a signal at the target from the quantum illumination protocol, that could serve as a quantum radar. We assume a simple universal detecting schema on the target and study if it is possible to discover the quantum illumination measurement and in what conditions considering the microwave regime. Assuming many simplifications, we found that the possibility or the advantage of the detection of the quantum illumination measurement strongly depends on the realization of the quantum illumination protocol. 1 Introduction Quantum illumination (QI) is a quantum protocol for detecting and imaging objects in a noisy and lossy environment utilizing quantum entanglement [1] and as such is suitable for quantum radar applications. Within this protocol, two entangled beams denoted as an ancilla (idler) and as a signal, are created. The ancilla beam is retained in the system, and the signal beam is sent to the region where the target may present. Then, the joint measurement of ancilla and the reflected signal photons is performed. Quantum illumination is in the spotlight of the current research because it preserves the substantial advantage in the error probability in comparison with classical protocols of the same average photon number. The advantage of quantum illuminations is carried on in such an environment where no entanglement survives at the detector due to strong noise and losses.
