Enhance Baseband Bandwidth for Rydberg Atom-Based RF Sensors

Rydberg atom-based sensors are a room temperature quantum technology for detecting radio frequency waves. These sensors have advantages such as electromagnetic transparency and ultrabroadband carrier frequency detection capability that are not possible to obtain with conventional antennas. The advantages lead to a host of applications in radio frequency technologies such as communications, particularly 5G and 6G, and radar. Quantum Valley Ideas Laboratories is a world leader in this area of research and is driving Canada towards pioneering commercialization of the technology. The students working on this project will gain valuable experience in quantum technologies and contribute towards increasing the baseband bandwidth of these novel sensors.
