Iterative path integral summation for nonequilibrium quantum transport    [PDF]

S. Weiss, R. Hützen, D. Becker, J. Eckel, R. Egger, M. Thorwart
We have developed a numerically exact approach to compute real-time path integral expressions for quantum transport problems out of equilibrium. The scheme is based on a deterministic iterative summation of the path integral (ISPI) for the generating function of nonequilibrium observables of interest, e.g., the charge current or dynamical quantities of the central part. Self-energies due to the leads, being nonlocal in time, are fully taken into account within a finite memory time, thereby including non-Markovian effects. Numerical results are extra-polated first to vanishing (Trotter) time discretization and, second, to infinite memory time...
