The possibility of quantum radars with radiating antennas consisting of two interacting quantum dipoles in a coherent or thermal state is studied. It is shown that asymmetric antennas of this type can be used both to attain super-resolution and to avoid the “Rayleigh catastrophe.” In the case of a coherent antenna, it is sufficient to measure the intensities to achieve these effects. In the thermal case, it is necessary to measure the time correlations of the field.
