Description
Rydberg atoms offer a means for measuring electric and magnetic fields ranging from DC to THz that are traceable to the international standards system. Rydberg atom-based sensors are versatile and utilized for phase- and amplitude-modulated communication protocols, synthetic apertures, and radar. We have determined that Rydberg atoms may offer an edge when applied to characterize the next generation of chips. Depending on the chipset tested, the relevant frequencies can range from a 10 MHz clock to THz signal generation for internet-of-things applications. A single sensor spanning these bands will be paramount in the fast-expanding CHIPS infrastructure.
