Formal equivalence between partitioned and partition-free quenches in quantum transport

Abstract
In this paper we review the partitioned and partition-free approaches to the calculation of the time-dependent response of a molecular junction to the switch-on of an arbitrary time-dependent bias. Using the non equilibrium Green's function formalism on different time contours, we derive a formal equivalence between these two approaches. This clarifies a recent result of [PRB 95, 104301 (2017)], which is valid for a static bias and single level molecular structure, and extends it to arbitrary time-dependent biases and arbitrarily large molecular structures.
