Before we go into more detailed discussion of our implementation, we will present a concrete example of our device, where we study lattice gauge theories. These theories have become a popular benchmark for quantum simulators \cite{Kokail_2019} and quantum computers \cite{Martinez_2016,tavernelli2020} in recent years. On our NaLi machine, we recently performed experiments on the building block for certain quantum simulators that would be suited for theories from high-energy physics \cite{Mil2020}.  These experiments are performed with two atomic species, sodium and lithium, that can be prepared in two internal spin states.
