Rydberg Giants: Hydrogen-Like Atoms and the Frontier of Quantum Sensing

A deep dive into Rydberg atoms—electrons in enormous orbits that still follow hydrogen-like rules. We explore how they're created, why they're exquisitely sensitive to electric and magnetic fields, and how this makes them powerful for quantum computing, precision sensing, and space exploration. From the history of Balmer and Rydberg to modern optical excitation and quantum-defect corrections, discover why giant atoms are reshaping physics and technology.
