Vapor-Cell-Induced Uncertainty in Rydberg Atom Measurements via the Electric-Field Volume-Integral-Equation Method

Martin Stumpf, William J. Watterson, Rajavardhan Talashila +5

Electromagnetic scattering effects of a vapor cell on electric-field measurements using Rydberg atom-based sensors are analyzed with the aid of the volume integral equation method.…

Resolving magnetic-sublevel structure in Rydberg Autler-Townes spectra with arbitrary RF polarization

Noah Schlossberger, Rajavardhan Talashila, Stone B. Oliver +3

We investigate the role of magnetic sublevels in Autler-Townes spectra of Rydberg atoms driven by radio-frequency (RF) fields with arbitrary polarization. While conventional treatm…

Frequency Comb Behavior of Time Crystals in an RF-Driven Dissipative Rydberg System

Dixith Manchaiah, William J. Watterson, Christopher L. Holloway

Driven nonlinear oscillators constitute a universal paradigm for understanding synchronization, frequency pulling, and frequency comb formation in nonequilibrium systems. Here, we…

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…

Fundamental linewidth limit of electromagnetically induced transparency in a thermal Rydberg ladder

Noah Schlossberger, Nikunjkumar Prajapati, Alexandra B. Artusio-Glimpse +2

Spectroscopy of Rydberg states has become a popular platform for quantum sensing, with the most common readout scheme being two-photon electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT…

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…
