• Abstract: Low frequency communication has a wide range of applications in the fields of satellite detection, underground mining, disaster relief. Rydberg atom sensor has rapidly developed in recent years, capitalizing on its calibration-free SI-traceability, large polarizabilities and transition dipole moments. A Rydberg atom sensor is capable of sensitively detecting electric field signals from DC to THz. In this work, we demonstrate low frequency communication using Rydberg atoms in a vapor cell with two parallel electrode plates inside. Three modulations, BPSK, OOK, and 2FSK, are used for the communication by Rydberg atom receiver near 100kHz. We have measured the SNR of the modulated low frequency signal received by Rydberg atoms at various emission voltages. Meanwhile, we have demonstrated IQ constellation diagram, EVM and eye diagram of the demodulated signal at different symbol rate. The EVM is measured to be 8.8% when the symbol rate is 2Kbps, 9.4% when the symbol rate is 4Kbps, and 13.7% when the symbol rate is 8Kbps. The high-fidelity digital color image transmission resulted in a peak signal-to-noise ratio of 70dB. This study proves that Rydberg-atom receiver can finely work in low frequency communication.

• Spatiotemporal Multiplexed Rydberg Receiver [0.0]
  Rydberg states of alkali atoms have large electric dipole moments allowing them to be used as sensitive, wideband, electric field sensors. These sensors use electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) to measure incident electric fields. Previous studies have predicted that this EIT relaxation rate causes a performance roll-off in EIT-based sensors beginning at a less than 10 MHz RF data symbol rate. We propose an architecture for increasing the response speed of Rydberg sensors to greater than 100 MHz, throughtemporal-temporal multiplexing (STM) of the probe laser.
