Generally, a quantum radar can be defined as an impasse detection device that exploits microwave photons and uses some formula of quantum phenomena to improve its proficiencies to distinguish, recognize and determine an interesting object. In the case of this chapter, quantum radar is defined as the quantum phenomena which used to understand the functionality of the radar mechanism.

This paper is motivated by the pursuit of quantum information processing by confinement of single electrons in Penning traps [8,11–14]. Electrons are highly suitable candidates for the implementation of quantum logic [15], and the use of Penning traps for their confinement further takes advantage of the high precision of measurement enabled in this trap [16], and the well-controlled decoherence effects it offers [1]. Furthermore, the implementation of the Penning trap as a quantum radar through quantum illumination protocols [17–22] is a possibility enabled by the unique design of the Geonium Chip trap [10,23,24], which can only follow from a consistent quantum theory. A further motivation of this work is the possibility of quantum interferometry through the manipulation of the adiabatic potential in the trap [25], for which knowledge of the x and y motions in the quantum regime is essential.
