Enhanced pairing in doped quantum magnets with frustrated hole motion.
Evidence for strong pairing at arbitrarily small J/t is provided in a t-J model on the checkerboard lattice for a specific sign of the hopping amplitude. Destructive quantum interferences suppress Nagaoka ferromagnetism when J/t-->0 and drastically reduce coherent hole motion in the fluctuating singlet background. It is shown that, by pairing in various orbital symmetry channels, holes can benefit from a large gain of kinetic energy.
