Efficient method for quantum impurity problems out of equilibrium
Efficient method for quantum impurity problems out of equilibrium
We introduce an efficient method to simulate the dynamics of an interacting quantum impurity coupled to noninteracting fermionic reservoirs. Viewing the impurity as an open quantum system, we describe the reservoirs by their Feynman-Vernon influence functionals (IFs). The IFs are represented as matrix-product states in the temporal domain, which enables …
