<strong><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">Abstract</span></strong><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">: Learning how to create, study, and manipulate highly entangled states
of matter is key to understanding exotic phenomena in condensed matter and high-energy physics, as well as to developing useful quantum computers. In this talk, I will discuss recent experiments where we demonstrated the realization of a quantum spin liquid
phase using Rydberg atoms on frustrated lattices [1] and a new architecture based on the coherent transport of entangled atoms through a 2D array [2]. Combining these results with novel technical tools on atom array platforms could open a broad range of possibilities
for the exploration of entangled matter, with powerful applications in quantum simulation and information.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
