Ultra-cold atoms in optical lattices are an ideal platform for experimental quantum simulation, enabling the precise investigations of large quantum many-body systems. Exploiting the capabilities of quantum gas microscopy, we are able to both prepare and probe the dynamics of individual atoms. In this talk, I present two recent advancements of our Rubidium quantum gas microscope in Munich. Firstly, I present our novel tunable lattices, which provides programmable unit cell connectivity. We benchmark the performance of this system through single-particle quantum walks in the square, triangular, Kagome, and Lieb lattices. Subsequently, I introduce our recent findings on one-dimensional extended Hubbard models realized by stroboscopic Rydberg dressing. We probe the long-range character of the model, by exploring the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of repulsively-bound pair states.
