Rydberg Atom Thermometer: Principles and Challenges to Commercial Practice

May 27, 2025
Wednesday, June 25, 2025,
8:00pm to 9:00pm
CDT
NIST scientists have developed a new method for measuring temperature extremely accurately by using giant “Rydberg” atoms. This atomic thermometer provides accurate measurements “out of the box,” without needing initial factory adjustments, because it relies on the basic principles of quantum...Read more
