  bibo_abstract:
  - Quantum illumination is a sensing technique that employs entangled signal-idler
    beams to improve the detection efficiency of low-reflectivity objects in environments
    with large thermal noise. The advantage over classical strategies is evident at
    low signal brightness, a feature which could make the protocol an ideal prototype
    for non-invasive scanning or low-power short-range radar. Here we experimentally
    investigate the concept of quantum illumination at microwave frequencies, by generating
    entangled fields using a Josephson parametric converter which are then amplified
    to illuminate a room-temperature object at a distance of 1 meter. Starting from
    experimental data, we simulate the case of perfect idler photon number detection,
    which results in a quantum advantage compared to the relative classical benchmark.
    Our results highlight the opportunities and challenges on the way towards a first
    room-temperature application of microwave quantum circuits.@eng
