We study the temperature evolution of quasiparticles in the correlated metal Sr

We use state-of-the-art numerical techniques to compute ground state correlations in the two-dimensional SU(3) Fermi Hubbard model at 1/3-filling, modeling fermions with three possible spin flavors moving on a square lattice with an average of one particle per site. We find clear evidence of a quantum critical point separating a non-magnetic uniform metallic phase from a regime where long-range `spin' order is present. In particular, there are multiple successive transitions to states with regular, long-range alternation of the different flavors, whose symmetry changes as the interaction strength increases. In addition to the rich quantum magnetism, this important physical system allows one to study integer filling and the associated Mott transition disentangled from nesting, in contrast to the usual SU(2) model. Our results also provide a significant step towards the interpretation of present and future experiments on fermionic alkaline-earth atoms, and other realizations of SU(N) physics.

Ultrafast nonlinear optical phenomena in solids have been attracting major interest as novel methodologies for femtosecond spectroscopy of electron dynamics and control of material properties. Here, we theoretically investigate strong-field nonlinear optical transitions in a prototypical two-dimensional material, hBN, and show that the k-resolved conduction band charge occupation patterns induced by an elliptically-polarized laser can be understood in a multi-photon resonant picture; but remarkably, only if using the Floquet light-dressed states instead of the undressed matter states. Consequently, our work establishes a direct measurable signature for band-dressing in nonlinear optical processes in solids, and opens new paths for ultrafast spectroscopy and valley manipulation.
