This paper presents the advantages and limitations of a quantum radar system. The use of entangled photons to interrogate a region of space where a target is supposed to be, gives a lower probability of error than using a classical signal. This is possible because of the extra information that the quantum entanglement property can give us. This information helps us to distinguish between the signal reflected from the target and the background noise. Finally, through simulations, it is shown that the actual advantage of the quantum radar is the ability to detect a target in a high-losses and high-noise environment using a weak signal.
