Recent studies have already used Rydberg vapors to detect radio‑frequency fields with extreme sensitivity.

Persistent, phase‑locked oscillations promise low‑phase‑noise signals useful for clock recovery, precision spectroscopy, and perhaps gravitational‑wave detection, where any self‑referencing oscillator could serve as a phase tag.

On the theory side, researchers now have a platform for mapping phase diagrams that include stationary, bistable, and time‑crystalline regimes.
