Abstract

Searching for p+ipp+ip superconducting(SC) state has become a fascinating subject in condensed matter physics, as a dream application awaiting in topological quantum computation. In this paper, we report a theoretical discovery of a p+ipp+ip SC ground state (coexisting with ferromagnetic order) in honeycomb lattice Hubbard model with infinite repulsive interaction at low doping(δ<0.2\delta< 0.2), by using both the state-of-art Grassmann tensor product state(GTPS) approach and a quantum field theory approach. Our discovery suggests a new mechanism for p+ipp+ip SC state in generic strongly correlated systems and opens a new door towards experimental realization. The p+ipp+ip SC state has an instability towards a potential non-Fermi liquid with a large but finite UU. However, a small Zeeman field term stabilizes the p+ipp+ip SC state. Relevant realistic materials are also proposed.
