Auxiliary master equation approach within stochastic wave functions: Application to the interacting resonant level model

Max Erich Sorantin, Delia Maria Fugger, Antonius Dorda +2 more

We present further developments of the auxiliary master equation approach (AMEA), a numerical method to simulate many-body quantum systems in as well as out of equilibrium and apply it to the interacting resonant level model to benchmark the new developments. In particular, our results are obtained by employing the stochastic wave functions method to solve the auxiliary open quantum system arising within AMEA. This development allows us to reach extremely low wall times for the calculation of correlation functions with respect to previous implementations of AMEA. An additional significant improvement is obtained by extrapolating a series of results obtained by increasing the number of auxiliary bath sites, N_{B}, used within the auxiliary open quantum system formally to the limit of N_{B}→∞. Results for the current-voltage characteristics and for equilibrium correlation functions are compared with the one obtained by exact and matrix-product states-based approaches. Further, we complement this benchmark by the presentation of spectral functions for higher temperatures where we find different behaviors around zero frequency depending on the hybridization strength.

Stochastic wave-function method for non-Markovian quantum master equations

Heinz‐Peter Breuer, Bernd Kappler, Francesco Petruccione

A generalization of the stochastic wave-function method to quantum master equations which are not in Lindblad form is developed. The proposed stochastic unraveling is based on a description of the reduced system in a doubled Hilbert space and it is shown that this method is capable of simulating quantum master equations with negative transition rates. Non-Markovian effects in the reduced systems dynamics can be treated within this approach by employing the time-convolutionless projection operator technique. This ansatz yields a systematic perturbative expansion of the reduced systems dynamics in the coupling strength. Several examples such as the damped Jaynes-Cummings model and the spontaneous decay of a two-level system into a photonic band gap are discussed. The power as well as the limitations of the method are demonstrated.
