Abstract

This paper provides a detailed analysis of the thermodynamic properties of the Ohmic two-state system as well as its transient dynamics following a quantum quench. The authors also quantify the accuracy of time-dependent NRG and compare it to a variety of techniques used to study time-dependent dynamics.

Quench dynamics of a dissipative quantum system: A renormalization group study

Oleksiy Kashuba, Dante Marvin Kennes, Mikhail Pletyukhov +2 more

We study dissipation in a small quantum system coupled to an environment held in thermodynamic equilibrium. The relaxation dynamics of a system subject to an abrupt quench in the parameters of the underlying Hamiltonian is investigated using two complementary renormalization group approaches. The methods are applied to the Ohmic spin-boson model close to the coherent-to-incoherent transition. In particular, the role of non-Markovian memory for the relaxation before and after the quench of the spin-boson coupling and the Zeeman splitting of the up and down spin is investigated.

Coherent control of correlated nanodevices: A hybrid time-dependent numerical renormalization-group approach to periodic switching

Eitan Eidelstein, Avraham Schiller, Fabian Güttge +1 more

The time-dependent numerical renormalization-group approach (TD-NRG), originally devised for tracking the real-time dynamics of quantum-impurity systems following a single quantum quench, is extended to multiple switching events. This generalization of the TD-NRG encompasses the possibility of periodic switching, allowing for coherent control of strongly correlated systems by an external time-dependent field. To this end, we have embedded the TD-NRG in a hybrid framework that combines the outstanding capabilities of the numerical renormalization group to systematically construct the effective low-energy Hamiltonian of the system with the prowess of complementary approaches for calculating the real-time dynamics derived from this Hamiltonian. We demonstrate the power of our approach by hybridizing the TD-NRG with the Chebyshev expansion technique in order to investigate periodic switching in the interacting resonant-level model. Although the interacting model shares the same low-energy fixed point as its noninteracting counterpart, we surprisingly find the gradual emergence of damped oscillations as the interaction strength is increased. Focusing on a single quantum quench and using a strong-coupling analysis, we reveal the origin of these interaction-induced oscillations and provide an analytical estimate for their frequency. The latter agrees well with the numerical results.

Dynamics of the two-spin spin-boson model with a common bath

Tianrui Deng, Yiying Yan, Lipeng Chen +1 more

Dynamics of the two-spin spin-boson model in the presence of Ohmic and sub-Ohmic baths is investigated by employing a multitude of the Davydov D1 trial states, also known as the multi-D1 Ansatz. Its accuracy in dynamics simulations of the two-spin SBM is improved significantly over the single D1 Ansatz, especially in the weak to moderately strong coupling regime. Validity of the multi-D1 Ansatz for various coupling strengths is also systematically examined by making use of the deviation vector which quantifies how faithfully the trial state obeys the Schrödinger equation. The time evolution of population difference and entanglement has been studied for various initial conditions and coupling strengths. Careful comparisons are carried out between our approach and three other methods, i.e., the time-dependent numerical renormalization group (TD-NRG) approach, the Bloch-Redfield theory, and a method based on a variational master equation. For strong coupling, the multi-D1 trial state yields consistent results as the TD-NRG approach in the Ohmic regime while the two disagree in the sub-Ohmic regime, where the multi-D1 trial state is shown to be more accurate. For weak coupling, the multi-D1 trial state agrees with the two master-equation methods in the presence of both Ohmic and sub-Ohmic baths, but shows considerable differences with the TD-NRG approach in the presence of a sub-Ohmic bath, calling into question the validity of the TD-NRG results at long times in the literature.
