Abstract: We will discuss the recent advances involving programmable, coherent manipulation of quantum many-body systems using neutral atom arrays excited into Rydberg states, allowing the control over 200 qubits in two dimensions. These systems can be used for realization of exotic quantum phases of matter and exploration of their non-equilibrium dynamics. In particular, we will describe realization and probing of quantum spin liquid states - the exotic topological states of matter have thus far evaded direct experimental detection. Recent advances involving observation of quantum speedup for solving optimization problems and the realization of novel quantum processing architecture based on dynamically reconfigurable entanglement will be described. Prospects for using these techniques for realization of large-scale quantum processors and quantum simulators will be discussed.
