Individual neutral atoms trapped in optical tweezers offer a fast and flexible platform for the deterministic creation of atomic arrays. Off-resonant laser coupling to Rydberg states (Rydberg dressing) allow for the study of quantum many-body systems with engineered long-range interactions. By carefully choosing the laser parameters the strong dipolar interactions can be precisely controlled. We aim to realize synthetic quantum magnets based on this engineered inter-spin interaction. Here we report on the status of the project including a high power laser system for Rydberg coupling in the ultraviolett. We show coherent ground - Rydberg state Rabi oscillations for single and Rydberg superatoms and discuss the limits to their coherence. Finally, we discuss experiments aiming at the deterministic loading of a single potassium atom into each of the optical tweezers.
