Atoms in highly excited Rydberg states exhibit remarkable properties and constitute a powerful tool for studying quantum phenomena in strongly interacting many-particle systems. We investigate alkali atoms that are held in a ring lattice and excited to Rydberg states. The system constitutes an ideal model system to study thermalization of a coherently evolving quantum many-particle system in the absence of a thermal bath. Moreover, it offers exciting perspective to create entangled many-body quantum states which can serve as a resource for the generation of single photons.
