Real-Time Diagrammatic Monte Carlo for Nonequilibrium Quantum Transport

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2015-05-13 v1 Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics

Abstract

We propose a novel approach to nonequilibrium real-time dynamics of quantum impurities models coupled to biased non-interacting leads, such as those relevant to quantum transport in nanoscale molecular devices. The method is based on a Diagrammatic Monte Carlo sampling of the real-time perturbation theory along the Keldysh contour. We benchmark the method on a non-interacting resonant level model and, as a first non-trivial application, we study zero temperature non-equilibrium transport through a vibrating molecule.
