Rubidium, with the chemical symbol Rb, is an alkali metal discovered in 1861 by the German chemists Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff. It was first isolated from the mineral leucite. Rubidium is present on Earth in small amounts, approximately 90 mg per kilogram of the Earth's crust, and is found in various minerals such as lepidolite.

The applications of rubidium are diverse. It is used in medicine for heart diagnostics and in optical instruments such as prisms and photocells. Rubidium also holds significance in science, particularly in atomic physics, for the development of rubidium atomic clocks.

Future applications could focus on the advancement of technologies in quantum computing. Rubidium is considered a promising element for exploring quantum computers and quantum sensors. Research efforts aim to harness the unique quantum mechanical properties of rubidium for advanced applications in information processing and measurement technology.
