Wilson’s Numerical Renormalization Group (NRG) allows to describe many quantum impurity problems in equilibrium. But it remains a challenge to extend the use of NRG to situations of steady-state non-equilibrium, such as current through a quantum dot at finite bias. In our approach we consider additional baths coupled to the fermionic leads of the given impurity problem. The effect of these additional baths on the leads can be described by using Lindblad operators [1,2] in the Liouville equation for the density matrix of the dot and the leads. To efficiently solve the Liouville equation we use the stochastic quantum trajectory method [2].
Here we present first results how the Lindblad operators could be chosen to hold the leads in thermal equilibrium at a specific chemical potential and temperature and how the quantum trajectory method can be implemented in terms of time-dependent NRG based on complete basis sets.
