Quantum sensing has become a broad field. It is generally related with the idea of using
quantum resources to boost the performance of a number of practical tasks, including the …

Superposition and entanglement, the quintessential characteristics of quantum physics,
have been shown to provide communication, computation, and sensing capabilities that go …

Radiation sensors based on the heating effect of absorbed radiation are typically simple to
operate and flexible in terms of input frequency, so they are widely used in gas detection 1 …

Squeezing of the electromagnetic vacuum is an essential metrological technique used to
reduce quantum noise in applications spanning gravitational wave detection, biological …

The field of propagating quantum microwaves is a relatively new area of research that is
receiving increased attention due to its promising technological applications, both in …

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 …

Quantum communication protocols based on nonclassical correlations can be more efficient
than known classical methods and offer intrinsic security over direct state transfer. In …

Quantum illumination is a technique for detecting the presence of a target in a noisy
environment by means of a quantum probe. We prove that the two-mode squeezed vacuum …

Lossy bosonic channels play an important role in a number of quantum information tasks,
since they well approximate thermal dissipation in an experiment. Here, we characterize …

We propose a quantum-enhanced lidar system to estimate a target's radial velocity, which
employs squeezed and frequency-entangled signal and idler beams. We compare its …
