Quantum radar as a new radar paradigm has been attracting much attention of researchers and institutions all over the world since proposed.This paper begins defining the scientific content of quantum radar from its technology characteristics;it presents the basic definition and classification of quantum radar and points out the advantages in the target detection performance compared with classical radar systems.Subsequently

viewing from the origin

development and actuality of quantum radar

the paper briefly introduces the history of quantum radar.In particular

the potential applications of quantum radar to radar target detection

measurement and imaging and the corresponding advantages are elaborated.Finally

by viewing the prospects for the development of quantum radar

several open problems in the implementation and application of quantum radar are proposed.
