Due to new experimental developments, the generation of quantum states in Rydberg lattice systems is of interest. Recently, there has been success in the realisation of a quantum simulator for an Ising model using Rydberg atoms [1]. This promising new platform is able to deal with one and two-dimensional arrays of arbitrary geometry. Furthermore, new procedures to prepare neutral atoms in optical lattices with unit filling fraction have been developed [2,3]. Consequently, the question arises whether it is possible to easily produce a quantum state, which can be used as a resource state in quantum simulators or quantum computation. A simple protocol, which makes use of the Rydberg blockade effect, is considered. Three laser pulses are applied to a one-dimensional chain of Rydberg atoms resulting in an entangled graph state. The effect of this protocol has been simulated, and the entanglement of the state is specified by calculating the concurrence depending on the interatomic separation. [1] H.
