Abstract：

We realized a two-dimensional dipolar XY model using a programmable Rydberg quantum simulator. First, we demonstrate the adiabatic preparation of both the dipolar XY ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic state. In the ferromagnetic case, we characterize the presence of a long-range XY order, a feature prohibited in the absence of long-range dipolar interaction [1]. Second, motivated by recent theoretical works [2,3], we explore the prediction that the two-dimensional dipolar XY model can enable the realization of scalable spin squeezing. Experimentally we demonstrate that quench dynamics from a polarized initial state lead to spin squeezing that improves with increasing system size up to a maximum of 3.5 ± 0.3 dB (before correcting for detection errors, or approximately 5.0 ± 0.3 dB after correction) [4]. Third, we investigate the quench spectroscopy of the dipolar XY model and extract the dispersion relation from the time evolution of correlations [5]. Respectively starting from a ferromagnetic or an antiferromagnetic initial state, we get significantly different dispersion relations of the two phases, corresponding to ～√(|k|) and ～|k|, demonstrating the importance of power-law interactions on the excitation spectrum of a many-body spin system [6]. Recently, we investigated on experimental measurement of quantum tomography on our platform and have some preliminary results.
