Abstract

Rydberg atom electric field sensors offer a number of benefits over traditional antenna-based receivers. They are highly sensitive, small-size, and broadly tunable from near-DC to THz frequencies with a single sensor apparatus. While these sensors are unlikely to replace traditional receivers in many applications owing to their added complexity and narrowband response, they have the potential for a large impact in niche application areas. In this talk, I will highlight viable areas of impact and discuss how their performance compares to that of traditional sensors. Furthermore, I describe the recent progress made on the development of a Rydberg atom-based electric field sensor at MITRE.
