Quantum Sonar Concepts: Quantum Sensing and Entanglement-Based Sonar Essentials

Break beyond classical limits with a practical deep dive into quantum sensing and entanglement-based sonar. Participants explore how quantum states, squeezed noise, and nonclassical correlations improve detection, localization, and resilience in challenging acoustic environments. You will compare architectures, evaluate performance bounds, and translate theory into system choices and mission tradeoffs.

Cybersecurity matters here—quantum sensors introduce new data paths, timing channels, and control interfaces that adversaries can target. You will assess how quantum-grade signals and entanglement links change threat models, from spoofing to telemetry exfiltration. Finally, map safeguards and assurance patterns that harden quantum sonar across design, deployment, and operations.
