DESCRIPTION:Prof. Antoine Browaeys\, Institut d'Optique\, CNRS\nThis talk 
 will present our effort to control the interaction between cold Rydberg a
 toms in order to implement spin Hamiltonians that may be useful for quant
 um simulation of condensed matter problems. In our experiment\, we trap i
 ndividual atoms in two-dimensional arrays of optical tweezers separated b
 y few micrometers and excite them to Rydberg states using lasers. We will
  present our demonstration of the coherent energy exchange between two Ryd
 berg  atoms resulting from their dipole-dipole interaction\, and the imp
 lementation of the quantum Ising model in a system of 50 atoms with van de
 r Waals Rydberg interaction. This demonstrates a new platform for quantum 
 simulation using neutral atoms complementary to the ones based on ions\,
  magnetic atoms or dipolar molecules. \n
