Abstract
With the redefinition of the International System of Units (SI) that occurred in November 2018, there has been much attention on the development of atom-based sensors for metrology applications that are directly linked to the SI. In particular, great progress has been made in using Rydberg atom-based techniques for electric field (E-field) metrology. These Rydberg atom based E-field sensors have made it possible to develop atom-based receivers, which potentially have many benefits over conventional technologies in detecting and receiving modulated signals.
