Abstract

Quantum illumination is an entanglement-based protocol for target detection. The use of a two-mode squeezed vacuum (TMSV) state as a type of Gaussian state has been widely discussed. In our previous study, we found that the quasi-Bell state, which is a non-Gaussian state, outperforms the TMSV state in the quantum illumination protocol with attenuation. In this paper, we construct a detection scheme using practical elements and demonstrate that it can outperform the TMSV state without using the photon-number resolution.
