The interplay between spin and charge underlies much of the phenomena of the doped Hubbard model. Quantum simulation of the Hubbard model using quantum gas microscopy offers site-resolved readout and manipulation, enabling detailed exploration of the relationship between the two. We use this platform to explore spin and charge dynamics upon the delocalization of an initially-pinned hole dopant. We first prepare a two-component quantum gas of Lithium-6 loaded into a square optical lattice at half-filling and strong interactions, where the atoms exhibit antiferromagnetic spin ordering. During the loading process, we use a digital micromirror device to pin a localized hole dopant into the antiferromagnet. We then release the dopant and examine how it interacts with and scrambles the surrounding spin environment. The microscopic dynamics of dopants may provide further insight into the phases that appear in the doped Hubbard model.
