New quantum antenna reveals a hidden terahertz world

SMRTR summary

University of Warsaw scientists developed a breakthrough "quantum antenna" using specially prepared rubidium atoms that can detect and precisely measure previously hard-to-capture terahertz radiation, which sits between microwaves and infrared light. This room-temperature quantum sensor successfully calibrated a terahertz frequency comb for the first time, opening doors to new applications like package inspection, 6G communications, and highly sensitive spectroscopy.
