DESCRIPTION:The coherent excitation\, control and detection of mesoscopic 
 ensembles of Rydberg atoms are key requisites for proposed quantum devices
  such as integratable gates and single-photon sources [1]. While to date m
 ost experimental progress has been limited to ultracold atoms\, our result
 s demonstrate that microcells at room temperature are robust and promising
  candidates for investigating strongly interacting Rydberg gases\, and for
  applications where scalability plays a role. We present our latest result
 s towards atom-based quantum devices at room temperature and discuss futur
 e directions [2\,3].\nReferences:\n[1] M. Saffman et al.\, Rev. Mod. Phys.
