How to find conductance tensors of quantum multi-wire junctions through static calculations: application to an interacting Y-junction
arXiv:1001.3877 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.105.226803
Abstract
Conductance is related to dynamical correlation functions which can be calculated with \textit{time-dependent} methods. Using boundary conformal field theory, we relate the conductance tensors of quantum junctions of multiple wires to static correlation functions in a finite system. We then propose a general method for determining the conductance through \textit{time-independent} calculations alone. Applying the method to a Y-junction of interacting quantum wires, we numerically verify the theoretical prediction for the conductance of the chiral fixed-point of the Y-junction and then calculate the thus far unknown conductance of its M fixed point with time-independent density matrix renormalization group method.
