• Abstract summary: We introduce an effective treatment of quantum noise in frequency space by systematically clustering higher order Matsubara poles equivalent to an optimized rational decomposition. This leads to an elegant extension of the HEOM to arbitrary temperatures and very general reservoirs in combination with efficiency, high accuracy and long-time stability. As one highly non-trivial application, for the sub-ohmic spin-boson model at vanishing temperature the Shiba relation is quantitatively verified which predicts the long-time decay of correlation functions.

• Abstract: The hierarchical equations of motion (HEOM), derived from the exact Feynman-Vernon path integral, is one of the most powerful numerical methods to simulate the dynamics of open quantum systems that are embedded in thermal environments. However, its applicability is restricted to specific forms of spectral reservoir distributions and relatively elevated temperatures. Here we solve this problem and introduce an effective treatment of quantum noise in frequency space by systematically clustering higher order Matsubara poles equivalent to an optimized rational decomposition. This leads to an elegant extension of the HEOM to arbitrary temperatures and very general reservoirs in combination with efficiency, high accuracy and long-time stability. Moreover, the technique can directly be implemented in alternative approaches such as Green's function, stochastic, and pseudo-mode formulations. As one highly non-trivial application, for the sub-ohmic spin-boson model at vanishing temperature the Shiba relation is quantitatively verified which predicts the long-time decay of correlation functions.

  Weyl-Wigner representation of quantum mechanics allows one to map the density operator in a function in phase space. We approximate this quantum phase space representation of the canonical density operator for general temperatures. A numerical scheme which allows us to apply the approximation for a broad class of systems is also developed.

  In this work, we employ the barycentric representation to approximate the Fermi function and hybridization functions in the frequency domain. The new method, by approxing these functions with optimized rational decomposition, greatly reduces the number of basis functions in decomposing the reservoir correlation functions. We demonstrate the efficiency, accuracy, and long-time stability of the new decomposition scheme by applying it to the Anderson impurity model (AIM) in the low-temperature regime.

  Unavoidable coupling of quantum systems to external degrees of freedom leads to dissipative (non-unitary) dynamics. We introduce a method to deal with these systems based on the calculation of (dissipative) lattice Green's function. We illustrate the power of this method with several examples of driven-dissipative bosonic chains of increasing complexity.

• The quantum canonical ensemble in phase space [0.0]
  In all regimes, thermal averages of arbitrary observables are evaluated by integrals, as if the thermal Wigner function were a classical distribution. The extension of the semiclassical approximation for quantum propagators to an imaginary thermal time, bridges the complex intervening region between the high and the low temperature limit. A variant of the full semiclassical approximation with a real thermal time, though in a doubled phase space, avoids any search for particular trajectories in the evaluation of thermal averages.

  We describe the dynamics of an exactly thermalised open quantum system coupled to a non-Markovian harmonic environment. We develop a number of competing ESLN variants designed to reduce the numerical divergence of the trace of the open system density matrix. We consider evolution under a fixed Hamiltonian and show that the system either remains in, or approaches, the correct canonical equilibrium state at long times.
