Some notable systems, such as room-temperature superconductors and materials for controlled nuclear fusion, require an accurate description of finite-temperature quantum matter. Stochastic path integral methods are finite-temperature and…
We study in a unified manner the dissipative dynamics and the transfer of heat in the two-bath spin-boson model. We use the Bloch-Redfield (BR) formalism, valid in the very weak system-bath coupling limit, the noninteracting-blip…
We describe a numerical algorithm for approximating the equilibrium-reduced density matrix and the effective (mean force) Hamiltonian for a set of system spins coupled strongly to a set of bath spins when the total system (system+bath) is…
The established thermodynamic formalism of chaotic dynamics, valid at statistical equilibrium, is here generalized to systems out of equilibrium, that have yet to relax to a steady state. A relation between information, escape rate, and the…
A normal ordered exponential parametrization is used to obtain equations for thermal one-and two-particle reduced density matrices, as well as free energies, partition functions and entropy for both Fermionic (electronic) and Bosonic…
This paper presents a novel methodology for fast simulation and analysis of transient heat transfer. The proposed methodology is suitable for real-time applications owing to (i) establishing the solution method from the viewpoint of…
We develop a systematic field-theoretical approach to open quantum systems based on condensed-matter many-body methods. The time evolution of the reduced density matrix for the open quantum system is determined by a transmission matrix.…
We consider the reduced dynamics in a bipartite quantum system (consisting of a central system and an intermediate environment) coupled to a heat bath at finite temperature. To describe this situation, in the simplest possible -- yet…
We present a new approach to calculate real-time quantum dynamics in complex systems. The formalism is based on the partitioning of a system's environment into "core" and "reservoir" modes, with the former to be treated quantum mechanically…
There is presently considerable interest in accurately simulating the evolution of open systems for which Markovian master equations fail. Examples are systems that are time-dependent and/or strongly damped. A number of elegant methods have…
We present an ab-initio approach for grand canonical ensembles in thermal equilibrium with local or nonlocal external potentials based on the one-reduced density matrix. We show that equilibrium properties of a grand canonical ensemble are…
Discretizing a distribution function in a phase space for an efficient quantum dynamics simulation is a non-trivial challenge, in particular for a case that a system is further coupled to environmental degrees of freedom. Such open quantum…
The initial stages of the evolution of an open quantum system encode the key information of its underlying dynamical correlations, which in turn can predict the trajectory at later stages. We propose a general approach based on…
Density Matrix Exponentiation is a technique for simulating Hamiltonian dynamics when the Hamiltonian to be simulated is available as a quantum state. In this paper, we present a natural analogue to this technique, for simulating Markovian…
The ultrafast quantum dynamics of photophysical processes in complex molecules is an extremely challenging computational problem with a wide variety of fascinating applications in quantum chemistry and biology. Inspired by recent…
We study low-dimensional quantum systems with analytical and computational methods. Firstly, the one-dimensional extended $t$-$V$ model of fermions with interactions of a finite range is investigated. The model exhibits a phase transition…
Isolated quantum many-body systems which thermalize under their own dynamics are expected to act as their own thermal baths, thereby bringing their local subsystems to thermal equilibrium. Here we show that the infinite-dimensional limit of…
We propose a single-site mean-field description, an analogue of Weiss mean-field theory, suitable for narrow-band systems with correlation-induced hybridisation at finite temperatures. Presently this approach, based on the notion of a…
We present a scattering approach for the study of the transport and thermodynamics of quantum systems strongly coupled to their thermal environment(s). This formalism recovers the standard non-equilibrium Green's function expressions for…
A Gaussian operator representation for the many body density matrix of fermionic systems, developed by Corney and Drummond [Phys. Rev. Lett, v93, 260401 (2004)], is used to derive approximate decoupling schemes for their dynamics. In this…
