We present engineering of general classes of spin Hamiltonians differing from the underlying Rydberg interaction Hamiltonian to experimentally study quantum spin models in an isolated environment. A system of Rydberg atoms in two distinct Rydberg states, interacting via Van der Waals or dipolar interaction, can already be mapped onto a spin system with a Heisenberg XX- and XXZ-Hamiltonian. In order to obtain access to more general classes of XYZ-Hamiltonians, we dynamically engineer terms in the given interaction Hamiltonian using global microwave pulses which couple the two different Rydberg states. With a sequence widely used in nuclear magnetic resonance that is called WAHUHA sequence, we show the ability to transform a system with XX-like interactions into an isotropic XXX-model. Magnetization measurements reveal that this sequence can be used to preserve the magnetization of any arbitrary initial state even if it is far-from-equilibrium. By modifying the delay time between the pulses we implement XXZ-models with different anisotropies and observe their relaxation dynamics.
