Finite-frequency dissipation in a driven Kondo model

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2018-04-16 v1

Abstract

Using both a resonant level model and the time-dependent Gutzwiller approximation, we study the power dissipation of a localized impurity hybridized with a conduction band when the hybridization is periodically switched on and off. The total dissipated energy is proportional to the Kondo temperature, with a non-trivial frequency dependence. At low frequencies it can be well approximated by the one of a single quench, and is obtainable analitically; at intermediate frequencies it undergoes oscillations; at high frequencies, after reaching its maximum, it quickly drops to zero. This frequency-dependent energy dissipation could be relevant to systems such as irradiated quantum dots, where Kondo can be switched at very high frequencies.
