Rydberg Dressed Quantum Many-Body Systems — •Nikolaus Lorenz, Lorenzo Festa, Sarah Hirthe, Anne-Sophie Walter, and Christian Gross — Max-Planck-Institut für Quantenoptik, Munich, Germany

We are setting up a novel experiment for the study of quantum many-body systems with engineered long-range interactions. These interactions are induced by off-resonant laser coupling to Rydberg states, so called Rydberg dressing. Our aim is to explore fundamentally new types of quantum matter based on these tailored long-range interactions. A first goal is to study tailored quantum magnets in microtrap arrays, where Potassium provides interesting prospects for deterministic array loading. The microtrap approach has been chosen in order to have a flexible and fast system for experiments that require high statistics. We are developing also the laser system for the ultraviolett light designed to maximize the coupling to Rydberg states. Here we report on the status of the project and the progress done in the last year with the construction of the experimental apparatus.
