In quantum illumination, the joint measurement of the signal and idler beams enables a quantum advantage in target detection, as compared to the ideal classical radar. This advantage is predicted to exist for the case of weak quantum signals propagating in a bright thermal background, where the latter potentially contains a weakly reflecting target. The joint measurement exploits non-classical correlations between the signal and idler modes. A promising detector concept allowing for a theoretical 3 dB quantum advantage implements this joint measurement by exploiting a frequency-degenerate Josephson mixer (JM). The circuit of this JM consists of two 180 hybrid ring beam splitters and two flux-driven Josephson parametric amplifiers. We present the first successful operation of the frequency-degenerate JM with Gaussian states and, thus, demonstrate an important milestone for the realization of the microwave quantum radar.
