Spin liquids in a dipolar Rydberg array

A long-standing focus in the study of quantum antiferromagnetism has been the search for quantum spin liquid ground states. These states, which exhibit intricate long-range quantum correlations and can host exotic low-energy excitations, often arise from an interplay between classical frustration and quantum fluctuations. In this talk, we predict the emergence of two distinct spin liquids -- the Dirac spin liquid and the chiral spin liquid -- in a dipolar Rydberg atom array. The only tuning parameter used to stabilize these spin liquid ground states is the underlying geometry of the atom array. We will discuss routes to adiabatically preparing both spin liquids from simple paramagnetic initial states and will also describe new methods for probing and characterizing their features. Finally, we will present recent experimental progress toward realizing a Dirac spin liquid in a dipolar tweezer array of rubidium atoms.
