Rydberg Atom Electrometry: Recent Sensitivity and Bandwidth Improvements

Published by National Institute of Standards and Technology | National Institute of Standards and Technology | Catalog Last Checked: August 02, 2025 at 03:37 PM | Dataset Last Updated: April 17, 2024
We present recent improvements within the growing field of Rydberg atom sensors. While initially started as a path towards absolute, independent measurements of electric fields, the research landscape has evolved into the realm of quantum sensors and receivers. We discuss the capabilities and limitations of Rydberg atom receivers, and we show how different atomic properties enhance or limit sensitivity and bandwidth.This data is for a review paper. Figures 6 (a) and 8 (a) and (b) are new data. The rest of the data is extracted from other NIST publications that have a data management plan. Related data are from the following papers.https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0069195https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2402.00718https://doi.org/10.1116/5.0098057
