Efficient simulations of spectra and transport for multiorbital quantum impurities
Abstract
Quantum impurity calculations become challenging when multiple correlated orbitals are treated explicitly, particularly in nonequilibrium steady states. We introduce Coupled-Cluster Coupled Lindblad (C3L), a deterministic approach that combines the recently developed coupled-Lindblad compact bath representation with coupled-cluster theory to compute steady states and Green's functions directly in imaginary and real frequency. C3L has favorable polynomial computational complexity and avoids the sign problem of quantum Monte Carlo (QMC). In a real-time multiorbital benchmark, it agrees closely with state-of-the-art QMC while reducing computational cost by four to five orders of magnitude, with a further 10--100-fold speedup on a GPU. Beyond the practical reach of established real-time QMC solvers, four-orbital nonequilibrium impurities with general interactions and biased reservoirs become accessible with C3L. We obtain resonance-resolved transport signatures relevant to scanning tunneling microscopy experiments on molecular junctions.
