  We propose a quantum simulation of a supersymmetric lattice model using atoms
trapped in a 1D configuration and interacting through a Rydberg dressed
potential. The elementary excitations in the model are kinks or (in a sector
with one extra particle) their superpartners - the skinks. The two are
connected by supersymmetry and display identical quantum dynamics. We provide
an analytical description of the kink/skink quench dynamics and propose a
protocol to prepare and detect these excitations in the quantum simulator. We
make a detailed analysis, based on numerical simulation, of the Rydberg atom
simulator and show that it accurately tracks the dynamics of the supersymmetric
model.
