  We discuss a candidate solution for the controlled trapping and manipulation
of two individual Rydberg atoms by means of a magnetic Ioffe-Pritchard trap
that is superimposed by a constant electric field. In such a trap Rydberg atoms
experience a permanent electric dipole moment that can be of the order of
several hundred Debye. The interplay of electric dipolar repulsion and three
dimensional magnetic confinement leads to a well controllable equilibrium
configuration with tunable trap frequency and atomic distance. We thoroughly
investigate the trapping potentials and analyze the interaction-induced
stabilization of two such trapped Rydberg atoms. Possible limitations and
collapse scenarios are discussed.
