Passive synthetic alkali vapor source for atom-based sensors

Develop a passive, thermal-equilibrium atom source that establishes a synthetic rubidium or cesium vapor density to simplify thermal management in practical atom-based quantum sensors. The goal is to enable robust, low-power sensor operation by maintaining controlled alkali vapor densities without active heating.

Simplify the thermal management of practical atom-based quantum sensors based on alkali atoms by creating a passive atom source operated at thermal equilibrium based on a synthetic alkali vapor density for rubidium or cesium atoms.
