Datasets included in manuscript on simultaneous two-ladder sensing, titled "Independent Rydberg Atom Sensing using a Dual-Ladder Scheme" to be submitted to Applied Physics Letters. The data for figure 1 contains experimental EIT traces for both ladders, and figure 2 contains the data for false-color plots showing the polarization-specific response of each ladder.

This dataset contains the data for the figures in the paper "EIT spectra of Rydberg atoms dressed with dual tone radio-frequency fields", submitted to Physical Review A. This dataset can be used to recreate the experimental and theory plots from the CSV files. The data show EIT spectra of Rydberg atoms driven with dual-tone RF fields (experimental), and Floquet spectra of numerical models that are used to model these EIT spectra (theory/numerical). The data demonstrate spectra of driven Rydberg atoms in the strong field regime, and the models demonstrate the applicability of two-level Floquet spectra to reproduce the dominant spectral features.

Data associated with the publication: "Two-dimensional imaging of electromagnetic fields via light sheet fluorescence imaging with Rydberg atoms"Abstract:The ability to image electromagnetic fields holds key scientific and industrial applications, including electromagnetic compatibility, diagnostics of high-frequency devices, and experimental scientific work involving field interactions. Generally electric and magnetic field measurements require conductive elements which significantly perturb the field. However, electromagnetic fields can be measured non-perturbatively via the shift they induce on Rydberg states of alkali atoms in atomic vapor, which are highly sensitive to electric fields. Previous field measurements using Rydberg atoms utilized electromagnetically induced transparency to read out the shift on the states induced by the fields, but did not provide spatial resolution. In this work, we demonstrate that electromagnetically induced transparency can be spatially resolved by imaging the fluorescence of the probe. We demonstrate that this can be used to image $\sim$V/cm scale electric fields in the MHz-GHz range and $\sim$mT scale static magnetic fields, with minimal perturbation to the fields. We also demonstrate the ability to image $\sim$ V/m scale fields for resonant microwave radiation, although standing waves generated by the vapor cell walls obscure external field structure in this regime. We perform this field imaging with a spatial resolution of order 160 $\mu$m.This dataset contains the data associated with Figure 1 c,f,g, and h, Figure 2, Figure 3 b,d,f, and h, Figure 4 c,d, and e, Figure 5 b, c, and e, Figure 6, and the Supplemental Material's Figure 1.

This dataset represents the results of calculations of atomic absorption spectra for the case of two-color EIT. We compare computation methods, specifically Gaussian sampling, to find that one sampling method converges to smooth transmittance curves in less time than the other. We also include some example scripts which generate and plot the figure data.

We present recent improvements within the growing field of Rydberg atom sensors. While initially started as a path towards absolute, independent measurements of electric fields, the research landscape has evolved into the realm of quantum sensors and receivers. We discuss the capabilities and limitations of Rydberg atom receivers, and we show how different atomic properties enhance or limit sensitivity and bandwidth.This data is for a review paper. Figures 6 (a) and 8 (a) and (b) are new data. The rest of the data is extracted from other NIST publications that have a data management plan.

Rydberg atom-based receivers of modulated radio frequency (RF) fields are promising systems for measurements. These systems are self-calibrating, widely tunable, nearly transparent to RF fields, and can be electrically small. However, the instantaneous bandwidth of current Rydberg atom receivers is typically less than 1 MHz. Using two-photon electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) to observe the 56D5/2 Rydberg state in cesium, we measure modulation sidebands on each tooth in a probe optical frequency comb that spans the D2 F=4-F'=5 transition resulting from transmission modulation of the probe beam. This transmission modulation occurs from changes in susceptibility of the room temperature cesium vapor as two RF fields impinge on the atoms. A strong RF local oscillator is resonant with the 56D-57P state and mixes with a weak RF signal field detuned from the RF LO by an intermediate frequency. Using a self-heterodyned electro-optic comb setup, we separate positive and negative sideband amplitudes and compare to an equivalent comb-free system. These data report EIT measurement with the comb system, local spectra around two comb teeth - one within and one outside the EIT line, and normalized minimum detectable RF signal field as a function of RF intermediate frequency used to evaluate the instantaneous bandwidth of the single frequency, positive sideband, and negative sideband datasets.

Although Rydberg atom-based electric field sensing provides key advantages over traditional antenna-based detection, it remains limited by the need for a local oscillator (LO) for low-field and phase resolved detection. In this work, we demonstrate the general applicability of closed-loop quantum interferometric schemes for Rydberg field sensing, which eliminate the need for an LO. We reveal that the quantum-interferometrically defined phase and frequency of our scheme provides an internal reference that enables LO-free full 360 degree-resolved phase sensitivity. This internal reference can further be used analogously to a traditional LO for atom-based down-mixing to an intermediate frequency for lock-in-based phase detection, which we demonstrate by demodulating a four phase-state signal broadcast on the atoms.

On-resonance Rydberg atom-based radio-frequency (RF) electric field sensing methods remain limited by the narrow frequency signal detection bands available by resonant transitions. The use ofan additional RF tuner field to dress or shift a target Rydberg state can be used to return a detuned signal field to resonance and thus dramatically extend the frequency range available for resonantsensing. Here we compare three distinct tuning schemes based on adjacent Rydberg transitions, which are shown to have distinct tuning characteristics and can be tuned with mechanisms based onthe tuning field frequency or field strength. We further show that a two-photon Raman feature can be used as an effective tuning mechanism separate from conventional Autler-Townes splitting. Wecompare our tuning schemes to AC Stark effect-based broadband RF field sensing and show that although the sensitivity is diminished as we tune away from a resonant state, it nevertheless can beused in configurations where there is a low density of Rydberg states, which would result in a weak AC Stark effect.
