A standard approach to nonequilibrium many-body problems is the Keldysh Green's function technique [1]. Information about the studied system, e.g. photoemission spectra etc., is encoded into the Green's function. To access this, we have to consider coupled integro-differential equations (Kadanoff-Baym equations), whose efficient solution is not trivial [2]. The Generalized Kadanoff-Baym Ansatz (GKBA) offers a simplification by decomposing the two-time-propagation of the Green's function into the time-propagation of a time-local density matrix [3]. We discuss the time-propagation method à la GKBA and present some benchmark simulations against the full solution of the Kadanoff-Baym equations, concentrating on a simple model for an excitonic insulator [4]. We investigate the dynamics of competing orders and how the balance between them could be controlled by laser driving.
