Over the last years, a new platform for quantum technologies has emerged. It is based on arrays of single atoms arranged with almost arbitrary geometries, and made to interact by exciting them to Rydberg states. Compared with other platforms, such as trapped ions or superconducting qubits, atom arrays are quite competitive for applications such as quantum simulation of magnetism. We describe the experimental methods used in this field, and illustrate recent applications.
