“…Quantum radar can provide highly accurate range and velocity information for objects in the environment [228,230], which is critical for autonomous vehicles to make safe and efficient navigation decisions. In addition, quantum lidar can provide high-resolution, 3D imaging of the environment [239,240], which is essential for autonomous vehicles to understand the layout of the road, detect obstacles, and make decisions based on their surroundings. Currently, the prototypes of quantum radar and lidar have demonstrated superior performance in laboratory setups only [239][240][241].…”

While quantum lidar using optical frequencies can operate at room temperature [239,240], quantum radar using entanglement requires cryogenic refrigerators for preserving quantum coherence effects at RF frequencies [241]. Furthermore, the sensitivity of conventional radar systems can be improved by using a Rydberg atomic sensor as a receiver that can detect very faint targets while operating at room temperature [234,242].…”

The quantum internet is a cutting‐edge paradigm that uses the unique characteristics of quantum technology to radically alter communication networks. This new network type is expected to collaborate with 6G networks, creating a synergy that will fundamentally alter how we communicate, engage, and trade information. The improved security, increased speed, and increased network capacity of the quantum internet will lead to the emergence of a broad variety of new applications and services. The current state of quantum technology and its integration with 6G networks are summarised in this study, with an emphasis on the key challenges and untapped possibilities. The main goal is to get knowledge about how the quantum internet might impact communication in the future and alter several economic and societal sectors.

Scanning real 3D objects face many technical challenges. Stationary solutions allow for accurate scanning. However, they usually require special and expensive equipment. Competitive mobile solutions (handheld scanners, LiDARs on vehicles, etc.) do not allow for an accurate and fast mapping of the surface of the scanned object. The article proposes an end-to-end automated solution that enables the use of widely available mobile and stationary scanners. The related system generates a full 3D model of the object based on multiple depth sensors. For this purpose, the scanned object is marked with markers. Markers type and positions are automatically detected and mapped to a template mesh. The reference template is automatically selected for the scanned object, which is then transformed according to the data from the scanners with non-rigid transformation. The solution allows for the fast scanning of complex and varied size objects, constituting a set of training data for segmentation and classification systems of 3D scenes. The main advantage of the proposed solution is its efficiency, which enables real-time scanning and the ability to generate a mesh with a regular structure. It is critical for training data for machine learning algorithms. The source code is available at https://github.com/SATOffice/improved_scanner3D.

3D scanning quantum LIDAR

Abstract: Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) is a powerful imaging technique. By utilising a superconducting nanowire single photon detector (SNSPD) we construct a 3D scanning LIDAR system operating with eye-safe infrared laser pulses and millimeter precision.
