The collective behavior of many particles leads to fundamentally new phenomena,  which cannot be anticipated directly from microscopic laws of nature. Synthetic quantum systems such as cold atoms, trapped ions, or polar molecules with tunable parameters and long coherence times allow to study these emergent phenomena and  provide valuable insight in the dynamics of strongly interacting quantum systems. It is however also crucial to have tools at one's disposal which characterize these  systems. In this talk, I will discuss our recent developments how interferometric  techniques from atomic physics, such as Ramsey and spin echo, can be used to  explore dynamical properties of strongly interacting quantum systems and  to explore exotic many-body states.
