Rydberg synthetic lattice in tweezer platformNeutral atoms arrays present a versatile platform for quantum simulation, metrology, and quantum information. We propose a scheme where a synthetic dimension can be added to an array of individually trapped potassium 39 atoms by exciting them to microwave-coupled Rydberg states. Currently, we have one-dimensional atom arrays and are searching for Rydberg atoms.
