Abstract
After many years of development of the basic tools, quantum simulation with ultracold atoms has now reached the level of maturity where it can be used to investigate complex quantum processes. Planning of new experiments and upgrading existing set-ups depends crucially on a broad overview of the available techniques, their specific advantages and limitations. This Technical Review aims to provide a comprehensive compendium of the state of the art. We discuss the basic principles, the available techniques and their current range of applications. Focusing on the simulation of varied phenomena in solid-state physics using optical lattice experiments, we review their basics, the necessary techniques and the accessible physical parameters. We outline how to control and use interactions with external potentials and between the atoms, and how to design new synthetic gauge fields and spin-orbit coupling. We discuss the latest progress in site-resolved techniques using quantum gas microscopes, and describe the unique features of quantum simulation experiments with two-electron atomic species.
