Two component ultra cold bosonic gases in optical lattices are an excellent system to simulate quantum spin dynamics in Heisenberg chains. Near perfect initialization is achieved using a single component Mott insulating state where single site addressing techniques can be used to manipulate the local spin population. Quantum as well as thermal fluctuations cause a residual hole probability in the initial state and the impact on coherent spin transport is on open question. We experimentally show that coherent spin transport under these conditions is indeed possible. Propagation of a single spin impurity results in entanglement spreading along the spin chain which we directly detect by measuring the concurrence between pairs of lattice sites.
