I will describe how laser light is used in current experiments to simulate and study many-body physics using ultracold quantum gases. In particular, after a general introduction, I will report on recent experiments performed at LENS where inelastic light scattering is used to probe correlated phases produced by loading a Bose-Einstein condensate in optical lattices.
