Hierarchical equations of motion method based on Fano spectrum decomposition for low temperature environments

Le résumé fourni par la source

The hierarchical equations of motion (HEOM) method has become one of the most popular methods for the studies of the open quantum system. However, its applicability to systems at ultra-low temperatures is largely restrained by the enormous computational cost, which is caused by the numerous exponential functions required to accurately characterize the non-Markovian memory of the reservoir environment. To overcome this problem, a Fano spectrum decomposition (FSD) scheme has been proposed recently [Cui et al., J. Chem. Phys. 151, 024110 (2019)], which expands the reservoir correlation functions using polynomial-exponential functions and hence greatly reduces the size of the memory basis set. In this work, we explicitly establish the FSD-based HEOM formalisms for both bosonic and fermionic environments. The accuracy and efficiency of the FSD-based HEOM are exemplified by the calculated low-temperature dissipative dynamics of a spin-boson model and the dynamic and static properties of a single-orbital Anderson impurity model in the Kondo regime. The encouraging numerical results highlight the practicality and usefulness of the FSD-based HEOM method for general open systems at ultra-low temperatures.
