Supersymmetry is a powerful tool that allows the characterization of
strongly correlated many-body systems, in particular in the case of
supersymmetric extensions of the fermionic Hubbard model [1]. At the
same time, these models can exhibit rich and exotic physics on their
own, such as flat bands with a vanishing dispersion relation. We show
that such lattice models can be realized with Rydberg-dressed fermions
in optical lattices. Strong interactions within the ground state
manifold of the atoms can be realized by admixing a weak contribution
of a highly excited Rydberg state [2]. We discuss the unique
possbilities of ultracold atoms for the detection of supersymmetry and
the effects of tuning the system away from the supersymmetric point.
