The major advances described include the development and implementation of a new technique for THz imaging using atomic fluorescence; the demonstration of a THz-driven phase transition in room-temperature atomic vapour; and a novel method for probing the excited-state dynamics of atoms using quantum beats. The work has formed the basis for several articles published in journals including Nature Photonics and the Physical Review, and has sparked industry interest, becoming the subject of ongoing collaborative research and development. This exceptionally well-written book provides a definitive account of terahertz sensing with Rydberg atoms. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aAtomic structure 606 $aMolecular structure 606 $aQuantum theory 606 $aSpectrum analysis 606 $aMicroscopy 606 $aAtomic/Molecular Structure and Spectra$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24017 606 $aQuantum Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080 606 $aSpectroscopy and Microscopy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31090 615 0$aAtomic structure. 615 0$aMolecular structure. 615 0$aQuantum theory. 615 0$aSpectrum analysis. 615 0$aMicroscopy. 615 14$aAtomic/Molecular Structure and Spectra. 615 24$aQuantum Physics. 615 24$aSpectroscopy and Microscopy. 676 $a539 700 $aWade$b Christopher G$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01065367 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300544903321 996 $aTerahertz Wave Detection and Imaging with a Hot Rydberg Vapour$92544853 997 $aUNINA
