Description

We will describe the principals of Rydberg atom-based radio frequency (RF) sensors. The introduction will be followed by a descriptions of recent advances that have been made at Quantum Valley Ideas Laboratories. We will describe experiments where vapor cells are engineered for low background electric fields and enhancement of the RF field. These improvements lead to better sensitivity and reproducibility. Finally, we will describe a new readout approach based on a closed optical loop in the atom that can enable simultaneous amplitude and phase readout, so-called IQ detection.
