Many-body interference occurs as a fundamental process during the evolution of a quantum system consisting of two or more indistinguishable particles. The (measurable) consequences of this interference, as a function of the particles' mutual indistinguishability, was studied for non-interacting photons transmitted through beam-splitter arrays. However, the role of many-body interference in the dynamics of interacting particles, e.g. cold atoms in optical lattices, had so far remained unclear. We identify a quantifier of the particles' mutual indistinguishability attuned to time-continuously evolving systems of (interacting) particles, which predicts the dynamical behaviour of observables influenced by genuine few-body interference. Our measure allows a systematic exploration of the role of many-body interference in the weakly and strongly interacting regimes.
