Application of quantum technology in radars

Authors

Abstract

In this paper, the use of quantum technology in the radar system and the advantages of these radars as compared to classical radars have been analyzed. In the beginning, briefly, we present the basic structure of the theory of quantum electrodynamics, and then the role of photon in this theory and photon interactions is presented.  In the next step, the most general form of the quantum radar cross section equation is extracted. This equation is also studied through a particle-type approach and introduces single-particle and two-particle illumination. Further, this equation is written in terms of Fourier transforms, since this method will pave the way for analyzing the cross-section of a quantum radar for defense purposes with various geometries. Finally, an analysis of the radar cross-sectional equation for flat panel geometry will be plotted, and computer simulations are carried out using MATLAB software, and finally, by comparing charts drawn from MATLAB software for classical and quantum radars, to analyze and compare them.
