Microwave electric field sensing is of importance for a wide range of applications in areas of remote sensing, radar astronomy and communications. Over the past decade, Rydberg atoms, owing to their exaggerated response to microwave electric fields, plentiful optional energy levels and integratable preparation methods, have been used in ultra-sensitive, wide broadband, traceable, stealthy microwave electric field sensing. This review first introduces the basic concept of quantum sensing, properties of Rydberg atoms and principles of quantum sensing of microwave electric fields with Rydberg atoms...
