The iterative summation of path integrals (ISPI)[1] is adopted to a single-level quantum dot, in which a quantum spin-1/2 magnetic impurity interacts with the dot-electron spins. For two electrons on the dot, Coulomb interaction is taken into account. Based on a generating function, the tunneling current at finite bias voltages and the orientation of the impurity spin are calculated numerically. The scheme is deterministic by construction and non-perturbative and allows to study real-time nonequilibrium transport for strong electron-impurity and Coulomb interaction, even at low temperatures and for a wide range of bias voltages. Of particular interest is the mutual influence between tunneling current and the impurity spin dynamics in the presence of the Coulomb interaction and a magnetic field.
