Single neutral atoms trapped in optical tweezers and laser-coupled to Rydberg
states provide a fast and flexible platform to generate configurable atomic
arrays for quantum simulation. The platform is especially suited to study
quantum spin systems in various geometries. However, for experiments requiring
continuous trapping, inhomogeneous light shifts induced by the trapping
potential and temperature broadening impose severe limitations. Here we show
how Raman sideband cooling allows one to overcome those limitations, thus,
preparing the stage for Rydberg dressing in tweezer arrays.
