Geometry-Induced Domain-Wall Pinning and $\mathbb{Z}_2$ Asymmetry in Nominally One-Dimensional Rydberg Arrays

arXiv:2607.27358v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We perform experiments on QuEra's neutral-Rydberg-atom Aquila quantum computer, using quasi-adiabatic evolution on 1-dimensional models. We use hardware fine-tuning to balance the measurement statistics close to zero net magnetization, in two differen
