Rydberg atoms for fundamental physics in space

Download Whitepaper
In a collaborative effort between several research groups, it is proposed to (1) design, build and apply instrumentation to measure the Rydberg constant based on spectroscopy of circular-state Rydberg atoms, and (2) to design and build instrumentation for cavity-QED-style detectors for single microwave photons, and to apply those towards an axion dark matter search. The project components are synergistic because circular Rydberg atoms of the same atomic species, Rb-87, are playing a central role in both of them.
