The long lifetimes and strong dipole-dipole interactions of circular Rydberg atoms make them particularly appealing for the realization of quantum simulations. Our research activities aim at aim at the operation over unprecedented times of quantum simulation of interacting spin systems with circular Rydberg atoms laser-trapped in an array of optical tweezers. The intern will participate in the transformation of the existing room-temperature setup into a cryogenic setup where we will fully benefit from the long lifetimes of circular states. We will use the new setup to demonstrate quantum simulations in a subsequent doctoral work.
