Rydberg dressing is the process of weakly admixing strongly interacting Rydberg-character into an otherwise weakly interacting ground state. These systems have the benefit of having strong, controllable, long-range interactions while still maintaining relatively long lifetimes. These properties have lead to many proposals for exotic many-body states/phases. In this talk I will present simulations of the influence of Rydberg dressed interactions on a 1D Bose-Einstein condensate, and show the advantages of 1D geometries over 3D for experimental observation. I will also describe a current experimental setup investigating Rydberg dressing in a 1D BEC.
