We investigate the dynamics of 1D correlated systems after photoexcitation by combining ab-initio methods, time-dependent matrix product states (MPS), linearized quantum Boltzmann equations (LBE), and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. This leads to a description spanning a wide range of time scales from femto- up to nanoseconds. We consider manganite systems in the material class Pr1−xCax MnO3 for which we derive 1D ab-initio model Hamiltonians. At half doping, we obtain a magnetic microstructure of alternating dimers from which we derive a 1D Hubbard-type model. The dynamics is analyzed concerning the formation and lifetime of such quasiparticles via a LBE. We find that the magnetic microstructure strongly enhances the lifetime of the excitations. In this way, our work constitutes a first step to building a unifying theoretical framework for the description of photoexcitations in strongly correlated materials over a wide range of time scales, capable of making predictions for ongoing experiments investigating pump-probe situations and unconventional photovoltaics.
