An Overview of Quantum Radar
In this talk, I present an overview of recent work in quantum radar. First, I briefly discuss one of the earliest and best-known proposals for quantum radar, namely quantum illumination radar. After discussing why it is not practical, I introduce a more recent quantum radar proposal, known as quantum two-mode squeezing radar (QTMS radar). Unlike quantum illumination radar, QTMS radar has the potential to support all the functionality of modern radars. Importantly, a QTMS radar experiment has actually been performed, so we know that such radars can at least be built in the lab. Finally, I will discuss some advantages and drawbacks of QTMS radars as well as possible future directions of research.

An Overview of Quantum Radar
Biography:
David Luong (S'19) received the B.Sc. degree in mathematical physics from the University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON, Canada, in 2013, and the M.Sc. degree in physics (quantum information) from the Institute for Quantum Computing, University of Waterloo, in 2015, where he explored the practical aspects of quantum repeaters. He is currently working toward the Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering with Carleton University, Ottawa, ON, Canada. In 2020 he was awarded a Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship, the highest scholarship awarded to Ph.D. students by the Canadian government.
From 2017 to 2020, he was a Defense Scientist with the Radar Sensing and Exploitation Section, Defence Research and Development Canada, Ottawa, ON, Canada, where he helped develop a prototype microwave quantum radar. His research interests include quantum radar and signal processing.
