Recent experimental efforts to manipulate long range interactions in cold atomic setups offer a unique way to study strongly correlated quantum systems. Among them Rydberg atoms are particularly interesting due to their extremely large dipole moments that result in enormous interactions acting over micrometer distances. We investigate the ground state phase diagram of Rydberg-excited atoms in a two-dimensional optical lattice by large-scale quantum Monte Carlo simulations. In addition, we explore suitable schemes for the dynamical preparation of the resulting quantum phases in the presence of imperfections and de-coherence under realistic experimental conditions.
