Trion ordering in the attractive three-color Hubbard model on a <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mi>π</mml:mi> </mml:math> -flux square lattice

Ultracold multicomponent fermions (atoms or molecules) loaded in optical lattices provide an ideal platform for simulating $\mathrm{SU}(N)$ Hubbard models that host unconventional many-body quantum states beyond SU(2). A prime example is the attractive three-color Hubbard model, in which trion states emerge at strong coupling. Nevertheless, much of its trion ordering on two-dimensional lattices remains uncertain. Here, we employ the determinant quantum Monte Carlo method to simulate the attractive three-color Hubbard model on a $\ensuremath{\pi}$-flux square lattice at half filling. We show that color-dependent attractive interaction can induce the coexisting charge density wave (CDW) and N\'eel-ordered states in the three-color $\ensuremath{\pi}$-flux Hubbard model. In particular, enhanced charge fluctuations (cf. honeycomb lattice) cause much stronger N\'eel ordering on the $\ensuremath{\pi}$-flux square lattice. The coexisting charge and N\'eel orders survive up to a melting temperature, at which they vanish simultaneously. The Ginzburg-Landau (GL) analysis on the coexistence of CDW and N\'eel orders demonstrates how color-dependent Hubbard interactions stabilize coexisting orders from the perspective of GL free energy principle.

Abstract

Ultracold multicomponent fermions (atoms or molecules) loaded in optical lattices provide an ideal platform for simulating $\mathrm{SU}(N)$ Hubbard models that host unconventional many-body quantum states beyond SU(2). A prime example is the attractive three-color Hubbard model, in which trion states emerge at strong coupling. Nevertheless, much of its trion ordering on two-dimensional lattices remains uncertain. Here, we employ the determinant quantum Monte Carlo method to simulate the attractive three-color Hubbard model on a $\ensuremath{\pi}$-flux square lattice at half filling. We show that color-dependent attractive interaction can induce the coexisting charge density wave (CDW) and N\'eel-ordered states in the three-color $\ensuremath{\pi}$-flux Hubbard model. In particular, enhanced charge fluctuations (cf. honeycomb lattice) cause much stronger N\'eel ordering on the $\ensuremath{\pi}$-flux square lattice. The coexisting charge and N\'eel orders survive up to a melting temperature, at which they vanish simultaneously. The Ginzburg-Landau (GL) analysis on the coexistence of CDW and N\'eel orders demonstrates how color-dependent Hubbard interactions stabilize coexisting orders from the perspective of GL free energy principle.
