MHz to sub-kHz field detection with an all-dielectric potassium Rydberg-atom sensor
Daniel Hammerland, Rajavardhan Talashila, Dixith Manchaiah +8
Rydberg sensors have significant promise as an alternative to the antenna systems used for sub-MHz frequency communications, where the scale of high-efficiency antennas is often im…
Simultaneous Detection, Demodulation, and Angle-of-Arrival Determination of Communication Signals Using a Dual Ladder Rydberg Receiver
Stone B. Oliver, Samuel Berweger, Eugeniy E. Mikhailov +4
In a typical Rydberg mixer, modulated communication signals are detected using a radio frequency (RF) heterodyne technique. The mixer outputs an intermediate frequency (IF), which…
Sensitivity Comparison of Rydberg Atom-Based Radio-Frequency Electric Field Detection: Ionization Current Versus Optical Readout
Dangka Shylla, Rajavardhan Talashila, Alexandra Artusio-Glimpse +7
We investigate a technique for detecting radio-frequency (RF) electric fields in a Cesium (Cs) vapor cell at room temperature by collecting charge from ionized Rydberg atoms and co…
Primary quantum thermometry of mm-wave blackbody radiation via induced state transfer in Rydberg states of cold atoms
Noah Schlossberger, Andrew P. Rotunno, Stephen P. Eckel +14
Rydberg states of alkali atoms are highly sensitive to electromagnetic radiation in the GHz-to-THz regime because their transitions have large electric dipole moments. Consequently…
Observation of Asymmetric Sideband Generation in Strongly-driven Rydberg Atoms
Dangka Shylla, Nikunjkumar Prajapati, Andrew P. Rotunno +7
Improving the bandwidth of Rydberg atom-based receivers is an ongoing challenge owing to the long-lived Rydberg state lifetimes that limit the refresh rate of ground state atoms. I…
