DESCRIPTION:More than 30 years ago\, Richard Feynman outlined the visionar
 y concept of a quantum simulator for carrying out complex physics calculat
 ions. Today\, his dream has become a reality in laboratories around the wo
 rld. In my first lecture I will introduce the remarkable new opportunities
  offered by ultracold quantum gases trapped in optical lattices to address
  fundamental physics questions ranging from condensed matter physics over 
 statistical physics to high energy physics with table-top experiment. Spec
 ifically\, I will introduce Quantum Gas Microscopes that have enables us t
 o image and control quantum matter with single atom sensitivity and single
  site resolution as well as to probe its dynamical evolution. This unique 
 ability to take single particle resolved snapshots of a many-body system o
 ffers numerous wide-ranging applications in exploring the complex microsco
 pic interplay of e.g. charge and spin carriers in electronic materials or 
 the existence of Higgs particles in relativistic quantum field theories.\n
