• Abstract: Neutral atoms become strongly interacting when their electrons are excited to loosely bound Rydberg states. We investigate the strongly correlated quantum phases of matter that emerge in two-dimensional atom arrays where three Rydberg levels are used to encode an effective spin-1 degree of freedom. Dipolar exchange between such spin-1 Rydberg atoms naturally yields two distinct models: (i) a two-species hardcore boson model, and (ii) upon tuning near a F\"orster resonance, a dipolar spin-1 XY model. Through extensive, large-scale infinite density matrix renormalization group calculations, we provide a broad roadmap predicting the quantum phases that emerge from these models on a variety of lattice geometries: square, triangular, kagome, and ruby. We identify a wealth of correlated states, including lattice supersolids and simplex phases, all of which can be naturally realized in near-term experiments.

  Rydberg tweezer arrays provide a versatile platform to explore quantum magnets with dipolar XY or van-der-Waals Ising ZZ interactions. We propose a scheme combining dipolar and van-der-Waals interactions between Rydberg atoms, where the amplitude of the latter can be greater than that of the former. For repulsive interactions, we predict the existence of a robust supersolid phase in current Rydberg tweezer experiments.

  We show how photon-mediated interactions give rise to a plaquette-ordered bond pattern in the atomic ground state. The pattern opens a non-trivial topological gap in 2D, resulting in a higher-order topological phase hosting corner states. Our work shows how atomic quantum simulators can be harnessed to investigate novel strongly-correlated topological phenomena.

  We show the concrete realization of a fundamentally different class of spin liquids in a honeycomb array of Rydberg atoms. In the regime where third-nearest-neighbor atoms lie within the Rydberg blockade, we find a novel ground state. The fidelity of this trimer spin liquid state can be enhanced via dynamical preparation.

  We investigate the phase diagram of hard-core bosons in a triangular ladder with next-to-nearest-neighbor interaction along each leg. For weak interactions, Abelian bosonization predicts a spin density wave and a fully gapless Luttinger liquid phase. The competition with the zigzag interaction generates a charge density wave, a 'polarized holonic' phase, and a crystalline phase at the filling 2/5.

  We develop a new strategy for accessing a family of fractionalized phases known as quantum spin liquids in Rydberg arrays. We specifically use effective field theory methods to study arrays assembled from Rydberg chains tuned to an Ising phase transition. Our work suggests that appropriately tuned Rydberg arrays provide a cold-atoms counterpart of solid-state 'Kitaev materials'

• Spontaneous decay induced quantum dynamics in Rydberg blockaded {\Lambda}-type atoms [0.0]
  Rydberg-blockaded two-level atoms form a Rydberg superatom. spontaneous decay from the Rydberg state to an additional pooling state renders the ensemble no longer a closed superatom. We present a computationally-efficient model to characterize the interaction between a fully Rydberg-blockaded ensemble of $N$ $Lambda$-type three-level atoms.

By joining two structures with different spatial modulations, we find long-lived interface states which may have applications in storage and quantum information processing.
