Motivation
tunable system parameters:full control of the trapping potentials (lattice geometry, effective dimensionality), random potentials (disorder), interactions (by Feshbach resonances or density), type of quantum statistics (ultracold bosons or fermions) closed system (no coupling to bath, decoherence)
focus here: single-particle physics...
observation of many-body localization?
