Summary

Story summary

Richard J. Murchie of the European Space Agency and John Jeffers of the University of Strathclyde developed a quantum illumination method to enhance object detection and range finding against jamming and spoofing.
The method relies on non-classical light correlations to maintain performance in noise.
Spoofing effectiveness depends on experimental parameters, yet detection remains feasible under interference.
The work shows quantum illumination could secure detection in challenging environments.
