• Abstract summary: We model the 4-level and 5-level atomic system and compare how the transmission of the probe changes with different powers of the lasers used and strengths of the RF field. We find that the three-photon system boasts much narrower line widths compared to the conventional two-photon EIT. In addition to this, we calculate the expected sensitivity for the two-photon Rydberg sensor and find that the best achievable sensitivity is over an order of magnitude better than the current measured values of 5 uV/m/Hz.

• Abstract: We investigate the sensitivity of three-photon EIT in Rydberg atoms to radio frequency detection and compare it against conventional two-photon systems. Specifically, we model the 4-level and 5-level atomic system and compare how the transmission of the probe changes with different powers of the lasers used and strengths of the RF field. In this model, we also define a sensitivity metric to best relate to the operation of the current best experimental implementation based on shot noise limited detection. We find that the three-photon system boasts much narrower line widths compared to the conventional two-photon EIT. However, these narrow line features do not align with the regions of the best sensitivity. In addition to this, we calculate the expected sensitivity for the two-photon Rydberg sensor and find that the best achievable sensitivity is over an order of magnitude better than the current measured values of 5 uV/m/Hz. However, by accounting for the additional noise sources in the experiment and the quantum efficiency of the photo-detectors, the values are in good agreement.

  We study the sensitivity of a Rydberg atom electric field sensor with a specific focus on the minimum detectable field (MDF) as a key metric. To enhance the sensor's sensitivity when the frequency of the signal electric field deviates from resonance frequencies between Rydberg states, we propose incorporating an extra coupling electric field. These insights hold promising implications for the development of more robust and versatile electric field sensing devices.

  Solid state defects in diamond make promising quantum sensors with high sensitivity andtemporal resolution. Inhomogeneous broadening and drive amplitude variations have differing impacts on the sensitivity depending on the sensing scheme used. We numerically investigate and compare the predicted sensitivity of schemes based on continuous-wave (CW) optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) spectroscopy, pi-pulse ODMR and Ramsey interferometry.
