Abstract

Recent experimental results have demonstrated gains in sensing capability using novel possibilities offered by quantum mechanics. In particular, a prototype radar which uses quantum techniques to enhance detection ability has been built in a laboratory, showing that quantum radars at RF frequencies are feasible. This prototype is called a quantum two-mode squeezing radar (QTMS radar). In this paper, we use the QTMS radar as a springboard to review the concept of quantum squeezing. We find that Josephson parametric amplifiers (JPAs), one of which was used in the QTMS radar prototype, can be employed to produce two-mode and one-mode squeezed states at RF frequencies. We then briefly discuss some of the possible applications of such states to the field of radar engineering.
