We present an entanglement scheme for Rydberg atoms using the van der Waals interaction phase induced by Ramsey-type pulsed interactions. This scheme realizes not only controlled phase operations between atoms at a distance larger than Rydberg blockade distance, but also various counter-intuitive entanglement examples, including two-atom entanglement in the presence of a closer third atom and W -state generation for partially-blockaded three atoms. Experimental realization is conducted with single rubidium atoms loaded in an array of optical tweezer dipole traps, to demonstrate the proposed entanglement generations and measurements.
