Solving strongly coupled gauge theories in more than one dimension is of fundamental importance in several areas of physics, ranging from high-energy to condensed matter physics. On a lattice, gauge invariance and gauge-invariant interactions involve challenging multi-body interactions to realize in quantum simulators. Engineering generalized blockade interactions in decorated arrays of Rydberg atoms has been proposed as a solution to this challenge. In my poster, I will present our current construction of the strontium Rydberg tweezer platform at ICFO based on this approach. This approach should enable us to realize plaquette interactions and engineer the Rokhsar-Kivelson Hamiltonian with minimal experimental complexity. Specifically, I will discuss our latest progress on the construction of the experimental platform.
