Rydberg Receivers for Space Applications
Gianluca Allinson, Mark Bason, Alexis Bonnin +10
Rydberg-atom sensors convert radiofrequency, microwave and terahertz fields into optical signals with SI-traceable calibration, high sensitivity, and broad tunability. This review…

Detection of isolated specular reflection for calibration of cloud thermodynamic phase estimation with quantum parametric mode sorting LIDAR
Richard J. Murchie, Dolf Huybrechts, Aaron Strangfeld +1
Specular reflection can be problematic for the determination of the cloud thermodynamic phase for near-nadir-pointing space LIDARs. A LIDAR system biased towards the specular contr…

Towards a realistic noise modelling of quantum sensors for future satellite gravity missions
Joao Encarnacao, Christian Siemes, Ilias Daras +4
Mapping the Earth's gravity field from space offers valuable insights into climate change, hydro- and biosphere evolution, and seismic activity. Current satellite gravimetry missio…
