Recently, the condensed matter and atomic physics communities have mutually
benefited from synergies emerging from the quantum simulation of strongly
correlated systems using atomic setups. While there is presently
significant interest in artificial gauge fields mimicking magnetic fields
in (neutral) atom setups to observe phenomena like fractional quantum Hall
physics, we will discuss prospects of realizing simple models of dynamical
gauge fields (lattice gauge theories) as a next generation of possible cold
atom experiments, where the (very) long term goal is to develop atomic
quantum simulators for QED and QCD.
