Abstract

---

I will give an introduction to the world of gigantic Rydberg orbitals of atoms, and how their exaggerated properties are fast pushing quantum technologies. Rather than focusing on a particular application or most fresh results from the labs, I want to explore together the fundamentals of this platform.
