Abstract
We demonstrate that the infinite- triangular-lattice Hubbard model supports a superconducting state built from tightly bound Cooper pairs composed of two holes and one magnon (). Building on the seminal prediction of repulsively bound states, we show that next-nearest-neighbor hopping coherently mixes symmetry-related configurations, stabilizing an -wave bound state with substantial binding energy and a light effective mass. Large-scale density matrix renormalization group calculations at finite doping reveal, over a finite magnetic-field window, a magnetization plateau with one magnon per pair of doped holes and quasi-long-range superconducting order characterized by algebraically decaying correlations. Our results establish a kinetically driven superconducting phase of composite magnonic Cooper pairs and provide directly measurable signatures for moiré Hubbard materials and ultracold-atom simulators.
