The modern description of elementary particles is built on gauge theories. Such theories implement fundamental laws of physics by local constraints, such as Gauss's law in the interplay of charged matter and electromagnetic fields. Here, we demonstrate the quantum simulation of an extended U(1) lattice gauge theory, and experimentally quantify the faithfulness to Gauss's law. We use single-species bosonic atoms in alternating wells of a 71-site optical superlattice to realize charged matter and gauge fields, and experimentally benchmark the dynamics of their interaction by sweeping across a quantum phase transition. Enabled by new measurement techniques, we certify Gauss's law by extracting probabilities of locally gauge-invariant states from correlated boson occupations across three adjacent wells. Our results demonstrate that Gauss's law can be faithfully engineered in large-scale quantum simulators of gauge theories.
