Ultracold atoms are usually imaged in experiments in single-shot images.These images are a projective measurement of the many-body wavefunction.Such single-shot images thus correspond to drawing a random sample fromthe probability distribution associated with the wavefunction. This talkwill discuss single-shot simulations performed with the MCTDH-X software[0], their effect on the interpretation of computations with MCTDH-X andexperimental observations, and give some prospects on how to betterextract and understand their information content. MCTDH-X-basedsingle-shot simulations recently helped to characterize theexperimentally observed granulation of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)[1] and to identify the fragmentation of a BEC in a cavity [2] as wellas a measurement protocol for the crystal state of ultracold dipolarbosons [3].[0] MCTDH-X: The multiconfigurational time-dependent Hartree forindistinguishable particles software, A.
