How much knowledge can we gain about a physical system and to what
degree can we control it? In quantum optical systems, such as ion
traps or neutral atoms in cavities, single particles and their
correlations can now be probed in a way that is fundamentally
limited only by the laws of quantum mechanics. In contrast, quantum
many-body systems pose entirely new challenges due to the enormous
number of microscopic parameters and their small length- and short
time-scales. This thesis describes a new approach to probing
quantum many-body systems at the level of individual particles:
Using high-resolution, single-particle-resolved imaging and
manipulation of strongly correlated atoms, single atoms can be
detected and manipulated due to the large length and time-scales
and the precise control of internal degrees of freedom. Such
techniques lay stepping stones for the experimental exploration of
new quantum many-body phenomena and applications thereof, such as
quantum simulation and quantum information, through the design of
systems at the microscopic scale and the measurement of previously
inaccessible observables.
