Description
Ultracold atoms and molecules offer intriguing opportunities for probing the quantum dynamics of quantum many-body systems. Initial states, lattice geometries and interactions can be fully tuned to explore novel regimes of quantum transport. Atoms can be counted one-by-one using quantum gas microscopy, giving access to the full counting statistics and non-local correlations. In this lecture, I will introduce the basic physics and detection techniques of these systems and discuss a few key experiments on quantum dynamics with ultracold atoms. These include the observation of Lieb-Robinson bounds in the speed of correlation spreading, anamalous spin transport in Heisenberg magnets, the measurement of full counting statistics in these systems as well as the realization of Hilbert space fragmentation in these systems. Open questions in this research will also be delineated that offer opportunities for further research.
