Description
Summary:Although quantum simulation can give insight into elusive or intractable physical phenomena, many quantum simulators are unavoidably limited in the models they mimic. Such is also the case for atom arrays interacting via Rydberg states - a platform potentially capable of simulating any kind of spin exchange model, albeit with currently unattainable experimental capabilities. Here, we propose a new route towards simulating generic spin exchange Hamiltonians in atom arrays, using Floquet engineering with both global and local control. To demonstrate the versatility and applicability of our approach, we numerically investigate the generation of several spin exchange models which have yet to be realized in atom arrays, using only previously-demonstrated experimental capabilities. Our proposed scheme can be readily explored in many existing setups, providing a path to investigate a large class of exotic quantum spin models.
