A sensor system comprises an entangled quantum generator operable to generate an entangled quanta signal including a plurality of entangled quanta. A carrier signal generator generates a carrier signal that includes electromagnetic field (EMF) pulses. The power of the carrier signal is less than the power required to ionize a propagating medium through which the carrier signal is traveling. A beam combiner is configured to output a combined signal that includes the entangled quanta signal in an EMF pulse of the carrier signal. A quantum detector is configured to detect a return signal based on the combined signal being reflected by a target.
