The present application belongs to the field of
quantum technology, and discloses a
quantum illumination method based on a non-
Gaussian two-mode entangled state in the field of
quantum illumination, which comprises preparing a non-
Gaussian two-mode entangled state, dividing it into two
modes of light, one of which is
signal mode light and the other is idle frequency mode light, emitting the
signal mode light to the area of a potential target, directly emitting the idle frequency mode light to a measurement end, and finally measuring the reflected mode light of the potential target area and the idle frequency mode light at a
receiver. The measurement scheme used in the present application uses double
homodyne detection measurement. The present application has the following important advantages: 1. By improving the input state to a non-
Gaussian two-mode entangled state, the value of quantum
Fisher information can be effectively improved; 2. By using double homodyne detectors at the measurement end, the
signal-to-
noise ratio in the quantum illumination
system can be effectively improved and error propagation can be reduced.
