of lattice models suitable for quantum computing. The individual tensors appear as the local building blocks of the reformulation. They contain all the information about the model and its symmetries. Using the transfer matrix formalism, we introduce the Hilbert
space and truncations that respect the symmetries. We present a quantum Hamiltonian for scalar electrodynamics in one and two spatial dimensions where the electric field Hilbert space is approximated by a spin-1 triplet. We discuss quantum simulators for
this model obtained by assembling arrays of Rydberg atoms with ladder structures.<b> </b></span></span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
