• Abstract: We present two quantum-classical hybrid methods for simulating the time-dependence of electron-phonon systems that treat electronic correlations numerically exactly and optical-phonon degrees of freedom classically. These are a time-dependent Lanczos and a matrix-product state method, each combined with the multi-trajectory Ehrenfest approach. Due to the approximations, reliable results are expected for the adiabatic regime of small phonon frequencies. We discuss the convergence properties of both methods for a system of interacting spinless fermions in one dimension and provide a benchmark for the Holstein chain. As a first application, we study the decay of charge density wave order in a system of interacting spinless fermions coupled to Einstein oscillators and in the presence of quenched disorder. We investigate the dependence of the relaxation dynamics on the electron-phonon coupling strength and provide numerical evidence that the coupling of strongly disordered systems to classical oscillators leads to delocalization, thus destabilizing the (finite-size) many-body localization in this system.

This hybrid method tackles with arbitrarily strong electron-phonon coupling without increasing the number of required qubits and quantum gates. We benchmark the new method by applying it to the paradigmatic Hubbard-Holstein model at half filling, and show that it correctly captures the competition between charge density wave and antiferromagnetic phases.

  We investigate spectral properties of polaronic excitations within the framework of an analog quantum simulator. The system emulates a lattice model that describes a nonlocal coupling of an itinerant spinless-fermion excitation to dispersionless (Einstein-type) phonons. We show that -- based on the numerically evaluated spectral function and its well-known relation with the survival probability of the initial, bare-excitation Bloch state (the Loschmidt echo) -- one can make predictions about the system dynamics following an excitation-phonon interaction.
