Exact description of fermionic reservoirs via purified damped ancillary fermions

Abstract

We present a method for the modeling of fermionic reservoirs using a new class of ancillary damped fermions, dubbed purified pseudofermions, which exhibit unusual free correlations. We show that this key feature, when combined with existing efficient decomposition algorithms for the reservoir correlation functions, enables the development of an easily implementable and accurate scheme for constructing effective models of fermionic reservoirs. We numerically demonstrate the validity, accuracy, efficiency and potential use of our method by studying the particle transport of spinless fermions in a one-dimensional chain. Beyond its utility as a quantum impurity solver, our method holds promise for addressing a wide range of problems involving extended systems in fields like quantum transport, quantum thermodynamics, thermal engines and nonequilibrium phase transitions.
