Fluctuation-dissipation relations express fundamental connections between the equilibrium fluctuations of a system, its linear response to an external force and its temperature. Here, we present an experimental confirmation of such a relation for Fermi-Hubbard chains with ultracold 6Li atoms by measuring density-fluctuations, compressibility and temperature simultaneously. With our quantum gas microscope, we have access to all three contributions including the crucial non-local fluctuations between all pairs of sites. Conversely, the relation provides a robust method for a theory-independent measurements of a system’s temperature even at strong interactions.
