Area of Science:

  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Quantum Dynamics
  • Computational Physics

Background:

  • Quantum-impurity systems are crucial for understanding complex quantum phenomena.
  • Nonequilibrium dynamics in these systems are challenging to model, especially at arbitrary coupling strengths.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a general, numerically robust approach for simulating nonequilibrium dynamics of quantum-impurity systems.
  • To investigate the relaxation dynamics of quantum dots under external perturbations.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing the numerical renormalization group (NRG) to construct a complete basis set for time evolution.
  • Benchmarking the NRG method against the exact analytical solution of the resonant-level model.

Main Results:
