abstract
Fermionic condensation typically occurs via pairing. In recent decades, however, a fundamental question has emerged: whether alternative forms of order exist, such as condensates of fermion quadruplets. These states--including ``charge-4e" superconductors and ``charge-0" counterflow condensates--lie beyond the standard Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer framework, and require strong fluctuations and correlation effects that invalidate the BCS mean-field description. This makes the problem notoriously difficult to study numerically at a microscopic level, as it involves both strong interactions and the fermionic sign problem. Here, we present a microscopic fermionic model featuring correlated hopping that significantly mitigates the sign problem, enabling rigorous Monte-Carlo-based analysis. Using large-scale simulations, we demonstrate the existence of a fermion-quadrupling condensate with a transition temperature comparable to the hopping energy scale. These results provide direct numerical evidence for quartic fermionic order in a microscopic system and suggest that these exotic states are also experimentally accessible in ultracold atomic gases.
