The author reports on high-fidelity simulations of charge carriers in the high-T-c cupratematerials using quantum Monte Carlo techniques applied to the first-principles Hamiltonian. With this high accuracy technique, the doped ground state is found to be a spin polaron, in which charge is localized through a strong interaction with the spin. This spin polaron has calculated properties largely similar to the phenomenology of the cuprates, and may be the object which forms the Fermi surface and charge inhomogeneity in these materials. The spin polaron has some unique features that should be visible in x-ray, EELS, and neutron experiments.
