The implementation uses ultracold Rydberg atoms, relying on their strong long-range interactions. Our suggestion extends the features available for quantum simulators of molecular systems employing Rydberg aggregates and presents a new test bench for fundamental studies of the classification of system-environment interactions and the resulting system dynamics in open quantum systems.EnglishDipole-dipole interactionsElectromagnetically induced transparencyNon-Markovian dynamicsOpen quantum systemsRydberg aggregatesDynamicsQuantum opticsQuantum theorySystem theoryDipole dipole interactionsElectromagnetically-induced transparencyNon-markovian dynamicsOpen quantum systemsRydbergAggregatesArticle10.1088/0953-4075/49/13/134001
