contents Despite decades of intense theoretical and experimental investigation, the two-dimensional Fermi-Hubbard model still resists a complete microscopic understanding. Conventional approaches typically probe global observables and locally resolved correlation functions. Here, we develop a complementary perspective based on the measurement of entanglement. Using both an ultracold-atom quantum simulator and numerical simulations based on the dynamical vertex approximation, we find that entanglement is closely tied to the onset of the enigmatic pseudogap regime: spin-singlet entanglement emerges only as the pseudogap sets in and, in contrast to classical correlations, remains confined to nearest-neighbour sites in this regime. Our results, therefore, disfavour purely classical-fluctuation theories of the pseudogap and constrain microscopic models to those that develop nearest-neighbour spin-singlet entanglement at the pseudogap onset.
