About
Rydberg Technologies is a quantum sensing company specializing in quantum measurement and imaging using Rydberg atoms. It was founded in 2015 by Dr. David A. Anderson in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and it serves commercial, government, and defense customers. Rydberg atom technology uses the quantum properties of atoms that have a single quasi-free electron to detect electromagnetic signals across a frequency range from DC to THz. These highly sensitive electric field detectors offer capabilities that conventional antenna technology cannot match. Rydberg Technologies is one of eight industry and university research teams selected by DARPA for its Science of Atomic Vapors for New Technologies (SAVaNT) program, which works to push Rydberg sensor sensitivity closer to quantum limits. The company also takes part in DARPA's EQSTRA (Enhancing Quantum Sensor Technologies with Rydberg Atoms) and Quantum Apertures programs. Over eight years, Rydberg Technologies has miniaturized its sensors from refrigerator-sized devices in 2018 to briefcase-sized units, showing steady engineering progress toward deployable quantum sensing systems. In October 2025, the company expanded internationally by launching Rydberg Photonics GmbH in Berlin, Germany, to advance its quantum photonics capabilities.
