We present an efficient quantum dynamics method for the spin-boson model. This approach accurately simulates energy transfer in molecular systems across various temperatures, improving upon previous techniques.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum dynamics
  • Computational chemistry
  • Condensed matter physics

Background:

  • The spin-boson model is crucial for understanding quantum dynamics in open systems.
  • Accurate simulation of energy and charge transfer is vital for molecular aggregates and light-harvesting complexes.
  • Existing methods face challenges in computational cost and accuracy, especially at finite temperatures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To extend the Dirac-Frenkel time-dependent variational approach (TDVP) with Davydov Ansätze to finite temperature dynamics of the spin-boson model.
  • To assess the accuracy and efficiency of this extended variational approach by comparing it with numerically exact methods.
  • To investigate the impact of using multiple Davydov trial states on the accuracy of quantum dynamics calculations.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Dirac-Frenkel time-dependent variational approach (TDVP) with Davydov Ansätze.
  • Incorporated a Monte Carlo importance sampling method for finite temperature dynamics.
  • Compared results with the numerically exact iterative quasi-adiabatic propagator path integral (QUAPI) technique.

Main Results:

  • The TDVP with a single Davydov Ansatz shows excellent agreement with QUAPI at high temperatures but differs at low temperatures.
  • Employing multiple Davydov trial states significantly improves accuracy, particularly at low temperatures.
  • The extended variational approach provides accurate spin-boson dynamics over a wide range of temperatures and bath spectral densities at a moderate computational cost.

Conclusions:

  • The extended Dirac-Frenkel TDVP with multiple Davydov Ansätze is an accurate and efficient method for simulating quantum dynamics of the spin-boson model at finite temperatures.
  • This approach offers a favorable balance between computational cost and accuracy, making it suitable for studying complex molecular systems.
  • The method's improved performance at low temperatures addresses a key limitation of simpler variational techniques.
