The Fermi-Hubbard model is crucial for understanding physics in quasi 2D layers of high-Tc cuprate superconductors. Investigating the profound connection between d-wave superconductivity and stripes, essential elements in cuprate ordered phases, promises valuable insights. In the isotropic Fermi-Hubbard model, the interplay between the kinetic energy of the dopants and the magnetic energy of the AFM spin order governs the system and reduces the energy scale for stripe order well beyond the reach of state-of-the-art cold-atom quantum simulators. To address this, we engineered a mixed-dimensional system, selectively suppressing particle tunneling along one direction while maintaining 2D spin interactions. This innovative approach tilts the balance in the competition between kinetic and magnetic energies, and thus elevates characteristic energy scales for collective effects, allowing us to observe signatures of stripes in our quantum simulator. Notably, recent discoveries indicate that mixed-dimensional systems can exhibit a distinct manifestation of high-Tc superconductivity, emphasizing the significance of our research endeavors in advancing this field.
