In 1D quantum many-body systems the elementary excitations split into an independent spin and density sector. A microscopic observation of this phenomenon is so far elusive. Here we report on the observation of a striking consequence of spin-charge separation in 1D Fermi-Hubbard chains via the full measurement of both spin and density distributions. Our analysis in terms of string operators reveals "hidden" antiferromagnetic spin correlations masked by the holes in the doped system in direct analogy to hidden order in spin-1 Haldane chains. This allows us to restore Heisenberg correlations in the spin sector of the system independent of the density sector by studying "squeezed space", which effectively removes the holes separating the spins.
Our measurements demonstrate the power of quantum gas microscopes for the study of doped Hubbard systems that can be directly transferred to two dimensional systems.
