  Entanglement is not only the resource that fuels many quantum technologies
but also plays a key role for some of the most profound open questions of
fundamental physics. Experiments controlling quantum systems at the single
quantum level may shed light on these puzzles. However, measuring, or even
bounding, entanglement experimentally has proven to be an outstanding
challenge, especially when the prepared quantum states are mixed. We use
entropic uncertainty relations for bipartite systems to derive measurable lower
bounds on distillable entanglement. We showcase these bounds by applying them
to physical models realizable in cold-atom experiments. The derived
entanglement bounds rely on measurements in only two different bases and are
generically applicable to any quantum simulation platform.
