We present the first experimental realization of the quantum illumination protocol proposed by Lloyd [ Science 321 1463 (2008)] and S. Tan et al. [ Phys. Rev. Lett. 101 253601 (2008)], achieved in a simple feasible experimental scheme based on photon-number correlations. A main achievement of our result is the demonstration of a strong robustness of the quantum protocol to noise and losses that challenges some widespread wisdom about quantum technologies.

Abstract
We present the first experimental realization of the quantum illumination protocol proposed by Lloyd [ Science 321 1463 (2008)] and S. Tan et al. [ Phys. Rev.

A main achievement of our result is the demonstration of a strong robustness of the quantum protocol to noise and losses that challenges some widespread wisdom about quantum technologies.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
