Dr.Nikunjkum arPrajapati isa scientistatthe NationalInstitute ofStandardsand Technology (NIST).He obtained hisPhD from W iliam and M ary in quantum opticsand hasworked on Rydberg atom sensing and applicationsforthe past5 years. He hasworked on im proving the sensitivity,bandw idth,and applicationsforRydberg atom sensors.Som e key developm entsNik wasin charge ofinclude introducing the im aging capability utilizing Rydberg atom sensors,obtaining high bandw idth forreal-tim e video reception,and the im plem entation ofcom b enabled Rydberg sensing to im prove the tunablility ofthese sensors.
