Arrays of atoms in optical lattices offer a powerful platform to perform experimental simulation of complex quantum systems. The range of accessible physics can be extended further by augmenting the system with individually-controllable optical tweezers.I will describe a new experimental platform based on ultracold strontium in a hybrid optical lattice/tweezer potential, and will outline some...
