As recent experiments have demonstrated the feasibility of Rydberg dressing [1], even in a lattice system [2], the stage is set for realizing (long predicted) exotic states of matter in ultracold gases. Our latest results (simulated in real-space bosonic dynamical mean-field theory RB-DMFT) have shown a rich diversity of crystalline and supersolid quantum phases, both close to resonant driving [3] and in the weak dressing limit [4]. While in the former case we predict a reduction of the Rydberg fraction compared to single atom dressing, we show in the latter case how a two-species mixture can make the realization of a supersolid more accessible. Based on these results we applied a quasi-particle method based on linearized Gutzwiller dynamics (Gqp), to predict various spectral functions for both cases and in an experimentally feasible regime. As RB-DMFT also predicts spectral properties, it serves as a benchmark for Gqp. We furthermore characterize the various observed gapped and ungapped quasi-particle modes.
