        Out-of-equilibrium dynamics in large-scale neutral-atom quantum simulators

        Lattice-based neutral-atom quantum simulators combine thousands of highly coherent atoms with single-site resolution and microscopic control, enabling new approaches to studying non-equilibrium dynamics in strongly correlated quantum matter. In this talk, I will highlight recent advances in developing novel state-preparation and readout protocols for studying quantum many-body systems, including quasi-local subsystem return probabilities that provide a quantitative measure of the effectively accessible Hilbert space, and time-reversal protocols that provide access to out-of-time-order correlators.

        In the second part, I will discuss recent results on disorder-driven phase transitions in Floquet topological systems and the first signatures of anomalous Floquet Anderson insulators - an out-of-equilibrium phase in which a fully localized bulk coexists with extended topological edge modes. This is enabled by combining expansion measurements in the bulk with observations of topological edge modes at an interface.
