Coherent control of ultracold atoms provides a powerful platform for quantum simulation of strongly correlated many-body physics. In this talk, I will show how to describe strongly interacting fermionic atoms (under a Feshbach resonance) in an optical lattice, how to introduce competition to probe exotic quantum phases, and how to reconstruct the full correlation function of ultracold atoms through Fourier sampling of the time-of-flight images.
