Based on the development and application needs, Professor Siwen Bi has proposed quantum remote sensing (QRS) in the early 2001. Firstly, the paper introduces the background, concept and research status at home and abroad of quantum remote sensing, it also introduces the differences and advantages of quantum remote sensing compared with the classical remote sensing. Then it elaborates wave-particle duality, Superposition State, Tunneling Effect of QRS research basis and quantum entanglement, its basic theory and information mechanism, as well as the research progress of QRS imaging processing, quantum spectrum remote sensing and QRS calibration. Besides, it emphasizes the experimental process of QRS imaging and the production of principle prototype, based on which, Professor Bi proposed active imaging information transmission technology of satellite borne QRS technical solutions and conducted research on its system composition and working principle, squeezing light preparation of active imaging, injection device and quantum non-noise amplifier device, providing solutions and technical basis for realizing active imaging technology of satellite-borne QRS. The QRS imaging technology can significantly improve the signal-to-noise ratio and space resolution of QRS imaging information transmission. Finally, the paper summarizes the research conditions over the past eighteen years and plan for the future.
