Environment induced pre-thermalization in the Hubbard dimer — •Nikodem Szpak¹, Eric Kleinherbers¹, Friedemann Queisser², Jürgen König¹, and Ralf Schützhold^2,3 — ¹Fakultät für Physik, Universität Duisburg-Essen — ²Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf — ³Institut für Theoretische Physik, Technische Universität Dresden

We study a strongly interacting two-site Fermi-Hubbard model representing two coupled quantum dots and couple them to Markovian baths. We compare the real-time diagrammatic technique derived within the Keldysh formalism with a simplified model in the form of a Lindblad master equation for the reduced density matrix based on the Born-Markov approximation. Solving it exactly, we observe equilibration at different time-scales corresponding to thermalization and pre-thermalization processes.
