Effective potential analytic continuation calculations of real time quantum correlation functions: Asymmetric systems

Abstract

We apply the effective potential analytic continuation (EPAC) method to one-dimensional asymmetric potential systems to obtain the real time quantum correlation functions at various temperatures. Comparing the EPAC results with the exact results, we find that for an asymmetric anharmonic oscillator the EPAC results are in very good agreement with the exact ones at low temperature, while this agreement becomes worse as the temperature increases. We also show that the EPAC calculation for a certain type of asymmetric potentials can be reduced to that for the corresponding symmetric potentials.
