Comparison of dynamics in quantum impurity models with bosonic and fermionic baths — •David Roosen1, Karyn Le Hur2, and Walter Hofstetter11Institut für Theoretische Physik, Goethe-Universität, 60438 Frankfurt/Main, Germany — 2Department of Physics, Yale University, New Haven, CT 06520, USA

Equivalence relations between quantum impurity models with bosonic and fermionic baths can be derived using the bosonization technique [1]. We focused on the well-known mapping between the anisotropic Kondo and the spin boson model (for a recent review on this model see [2]) and investigated, to which degree this equivalence holds for general local observables, and whether it extends to nonequilibrium dynamics.

The dynamics of the two models are investigated using a time-dependent Numerical Renormalization Group (NRG) algorithm [3] developed recently. A detailed study of the time-dependent entanglement entropy, a measure of increasing importance due to its prominent role in numerous fields of physics ranging from quantum information science to quantum phase transitions in condensed matter systems [4], has been carried out.
