Design of a Dual-Frequency Electric Field Local Enhancement Structure for Quantum Microwave Measurements

Zhiqian Wan, Yi Lin, Bo Wu +2 more

The quantum microwave measurement technique based on Rydberg atoms has the significant advantages of traceability and self-calibration. To improve the measurement sensitivity of this technique, the electric field local enhancement structure based on microwave resonators has been proposed. However, most electric field local enhancement structures work only at a single frequency. In this paper, a dual-frequency electric field local enhancement structure based on double split-ring resonators (DSRR) is proposed. The simulation results show that the structure achieves 27 dB and 33 dB enhancement of electric field strength at 1.17 GHz and 1.74 GHz with local enhancement and uniform enhancement of the electric field at the cell, respectively. For experimental tests, it is verified that the structure has an electric field local enhancement effect at dual frequencies by the AC Stark effect and the superheterodyne signal reception method based on Rydberg atoms, effectively improving the sensitivity of quantum microwave measurements.

Deep-Subwavelength Resonator-Based Rydberg Atomic Receiver for HF Band Enhanced Sensing

Weipeng Wan, Yi Lin, Kai Yang +4 more

In this article, we propose a new paradigm of room-temperature Rydberg atomic receiver for high frequency (HF) band sensing with high sensitivity. The proposed Rydberg atomic HF band receiver is implemented via a multilayered split-ring resonator (MSRR) and an atomic vapor cell. The MSRR is constructed by a five-layered printed circuit board within a deep-subwavelength size, providing a strongly enhanced electric field of the incident radio-frequency (RF) field. Using a quantum-optical readout of AC level shifts of field-sensitive atomic Rydberg states, the enhanced intra-cavity RF field significantly improves the sensitivity of the atomic receiver. In the measurement, we characterize the AC-stark shift in the frequency and power spectrum of the incident RF field. Furthermore, the sensitivity of the whole system is presented by utilizing the off-resonant Rydberg atomic heterodyne technique. In the absence of the MSRR, the sensitivity for an RF signal at 20.51 MHz was found to be 27.46 μV/cm √Hz. However, with the presence of our MSRR, the sensitivity significantly improved to 29.09 nV/cm √Hz, indicating a remarkable enhancement capacity of 944 times or 60 dB. This research holds great potential for high-sensitivity Rydberg atomic sensing, particularly in the HF band.

Dispersive microwave electrometry using Zeeman frequency modulation spectroscopy of electromagnetically induced transparency in Rydberg atoms

Feng-Dong Jia, Yonghong Yu, Xiubin Liu +7 more

We herein developed and demonstrated a Zeeman frequency modulation scheme for improving the signal-to-noise ratio of microwave electric field measurement using Rydberg atoms. The spectra of the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) and Autler-Townes splitting of Rydberg atoms is frequency modulated by an alternating current magnetic field. The signal-to-noise ratio of the corresponding dispersive error signal is enhanced more than 10 times than that of the original spectrum. Furthermore, we show that the slope of the dispersive error signal near the resonance of the Rydberg EIT can be used to characterize the weak microwave electric field amplitudes. The more intuitive and simpler structure compared with other existing frequency modulation technologies greatly reduces the difficulties of experiments and experimental data analysis.
