Abstract
We argue that near-term experiments with neutral atoms in movable optical tweezers can simulate circuits that mimic the Trotterized time-evolution of simple matrix models in quantum mechanics. As a cartoon of this proposal, we study Floquet Clifford circuits which exhibit a number of signatures of fast scrambling. One such illustration is a simplified Hayden-Preskill recovery protocol, in which stabilizer quantum error correction replaces postselection.
