Microwave quantum illumination.
Quantum illumination is a quantum-optical sensing technique in which an entangled source is exploited to improve the detection of a low-reflectivity object that is immersed in a bright thermal background. Here, we describe and analyze a system for applying this technique at microwave frequencies, a more appropriate spectral region for target detection than the optical, due to the naturally occu...
متن کاملEfficiency-enhanced soliton optical parametric amplifier
We show that the pump–to–signal power conversion efficiency of parametric chirped-pulse amplifiers made with periodically poled materials operating with multicolor spatial solitons can be significantly enhanced by employing engineered quasi-phase-matching gratings. Applications include compact sources of high-energy ultrashort pulses in diffraction-limited high-quality beams. © 2002 Optical Soc...
متن کاملEnhanced entanglement of two optical modes in optomechanical systems via an optical parametric amplifier
We investigate the effect of a degenerate optical parametric amplifier (OPA) placed inside an optomechanical cavity on the steady-state entanglement of two cavity modes, which jointly interact with a mechanical resonator. Two cavity modes are respectively driven at the red and blue sideband associated with the mechanical resonator, which generates entanglement between them in the limit of resol...
متن کاملCascaded Nonlinear Optical Mixing in a Noncollinear Optical Parametric Amplifier
Ultrafast optical science is a rapidly evolving multidisciplinary field: the ability to excite matter with femtosecond light pulses and probe its subsequent evolution on ultrashort time scales opens up completely new fields of research in physics, chemistry, and biology.[1] Furthermore, the high intensities that can be generated using femtosecond light pulses allow us to explore new regimes of ...
متن کاملSecure communication via quantum illumination
In the quantum illumination (QI) protocol for secure communication, Alice prepares entangled signal and idler beams via spontaneous parametric downconversion. She sends the signal beam to Bob, while retaining the idler. Bob imposes message modulation on the beam he receives from Alice, amplifies it, and sends it back to her. Alice then decodes Bob’s information by making a joint quantum measure...
