Critical lines and ordered phases in a Rydberg-blockade ladder

Arrays of Rydberg atoms in the blockade regime realize a wealth of strongly correlated quantum physics, but theoretical analysis beyond the chain is rather difficult. Here we study a tractable model of Rydberg-blockade atoms on the square ladder with a Z2×Z2 symmetry and at most one excited atom per...
