Dynamics of non-Markovian open quantum systems

I De Vega, D Alonso - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2017 - APS
Open quantum systems (OQSs) cannot always be described with the Markov approximation,
which requires a large separation of system and environment time scales. An overview is …

Numerical renormalization group method for quantum impurity systems

R Bulla, TA Costi, T Pruschke - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2008 - APS
In the early 1970s, Wilson developed the concept of a fully nonperturbative renormalization
group transformation. When applied to the Kondo problem, this numerical renormalization …

Open quantum system dynamics from infinite tensor network contraction

V Link, HH Tu, WT Strunz - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
Approaching the long-time dynamics of non-Markovian open quantum systems presents a

Open quantum system dynamics and the mean force Gibbs state

AS Trushechkin, M Merkli, JD Cresser… - AVS Quantum Science, 2022 - pubs.aip.org
The dynamical convergence of a system to the thermal distribution, or Gibbs state, is a
standard assumption across all of the physical sciences. The Gibbs state is determined just …

Exact mapping between system-reservoir quantum models and semi-infinite discrete chains using orthogonal polynomials

AW Chin, Á Rivas, SF Huelga, MB Plenio - Journal of Mathematical …, 2010 - pubs.aip.org
By using the properties of orthogonal polynomials, we present an exact unitary
transformation that maps the Hamiltonian of a quantum system coupled linearly to a …

Environmental dynamics, correlations, and the emergence of noncanonical equilibrium states in open quantum systems

J Iles-Smith, N Lambert, A Nazir - Physical Review A, 2014 - APS
Quantum systems are invariably open, evolving under surrounding influences rather than in
isolation. Standard open quantum system methods eliminate all information on the …

Multilayer multiconfiguration time-dependent Hartree theory
