Abstract

Quantum impurity calculations become challenging when multiple correlated orbitals are treated explicitly, particularly in nonequilibrium steady states. We introduce Coupled-Cluster Coupled Lindblad (C3^3L), a deterministic approach that combines the recently developed coupled-Lindblad compact bath representation with coupled-cluster theory to compute steady states and Green's functions directly in imaginary and real frequency. C3^3L has favorable polynomial computational complexity and avoids the sign problem of quantum Monte Carlo (QMC). In a real-time multiorbital benchmark, it agrees closely with state-of-the-art QMC while reducing computational cost by four to five orders of magnitude, with a further 10–100-fold speedup on a GPU. Beyond the practical reach of established real-time QMC solvers, four-orbital nonequilibrium impurities with general interactions and biased reservoirs become accessible with C3^3L. We obtain resonance-resolved transport signatures relevant to scanning tunneling microscopy experiments on molecular junctions.

Introduction

Introduction.—Quantum impurity models describe the dynamics of correlated electronic orbitals in quantum matter and charge transport through mesoscopic devices by treating an interacting region coupled to its environment as an open quantum system [1]. The same framework also underpins quantum embedding approaches to correlated materials [2]. Accounting for general multiorbital interactions at practical cost, both in and out of equilibrium, would greatly expand the range of phenomena accessible to impurity solvers.

Treating several correlated orbitals remains challenging for established impurity solvers. Continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo (CT-QMC), including interaction-expansion (CT-INT) and hybridization-expansion (CT-HYB), provides numerically exact results but can encounter severe sign problems in models with off-diagonal hybridization and general interactions [10]. Quantics tensor trains accelerate deterministic diagrammatic expansions, but the difficulty of compressing multiorbital integrands has so far restricted this approach to single-orbital models [23] [11]. Separable imaginary-time diagram methods reach realistic three-band models but are most applicable to strong-coupling regimes [24] [13]. Even in equilibrium, a few correlated orbitals with general interactions can already be prohibitively expensive.

Dynamical and transport properties are even more challenging to obtain. Equilibrium calculations typically compute imaginary-time Green’s functions, and obtaining real-frequency spectra requires ill-posed analytic continuation. Nonequilibrium properties instead call for real-time or Keldysh-contour approaches [19]. Many-body perturbation theories (MBPTs) like self-consistent second-Born (2ndB) and GWGW approximations offer a practical treatment of nonequilibrium Green’s functions, but their selected self-energy diagrams can miss qualitative features [25] [15]. Real-time QMC suffers from a dynamical sign problem in long-time simulations [26] [17]. Inch­worm methods reach longer times but remain extremely costly for general multiorbital systems [20] [19]. The fork tensor-product-state solver avoids sign problems, but its efficiency relies on orbital-diagonal hybridization [20]. Tensor-network influence-functional methods compress temporal correlations, but extending current single-impurity [27] [21] and two-impurity Anderson implementations [23] to general multiorbital models with off-diagonal hybridizations remains challenging.

These limitations motivate a deterministic approach to general multiorbital impurities with direct access to real-time Green’s functions. In this Letter, we introduce Coupled-Cluster Coupled Lindblad (C3L\mathrm{C}^{3}\mathrm{L}), a framework rooted in compact bath representations and quantum-chemistry perspectives on many-body correlations. Bath discretization maps a continuum environment onto a finite set of auxiliary modes, enabling explicit many-body treatments of the resulting system. However, unitary and independent Lorentzian representations require bath sizes that grow polynomially with the target time TT [12]. C3L\mathrm{C}^{3}\mathrm{L} instead employs the recently developed coupled-Lindblad representation of non-Markovian baths [30] [27], which reliably reproduces the bath hybridization to accuracy ε\varepsilon up to time TT using only polylog⁡(T/ε)\operatorname{polylog}(T/\varepsilon) coherently and dissipatively coupled pseudomodes, while maintaining numerically stable dynamics [29].

Nevertheless, efficiently computing the steady state and Green’s functions of the resulting interacting Lindbladian is still demanding. For instance, general impurity interactions and Lindbladian couplings would complicate real-time tensor-network calculations [15]. A mixed-configuration approximation within the auxiliary master equation approach (AMEA) seeks to address this by averaging conditional single-orbital solutions, which could limit its description of complex interimpurity quantum fluctuations [33, 34]. Coupled-cluster (CC) theory provides an efficient route by explicitly including general interorbital interactions and organizing correlations into a hierarchy of excitations. Its singles-and-doubles truncation (CCSD) is known to be accurate for weak to intermediate correlations in molecules and solids [35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40]. Its equation-of-motion (EOM) formulation provides direct access to charged and neutral excitations and Green’s functions [41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47].

Extending CC and EOM-CC from Hamiltonians to general Lindbladians, beyond the specific settings treated previously [33, 48, 49, 50], requires nontrivial theoretical machinery. We formulate a new parity-resolved fermionic superoperator tensor algebra on a doubled Fock space for steady states and Green’s functions [51, 52, 53]. A matrix-free Newton–Krylov solver yields the CC steady state, and Arnoldi-based EOM-CC yields real-time and real-frequency response functions without sampling or analytic continuation. A two-orbital Anderson-impurity benchmark that took inchworm QMC tens of thousands of CPU hours [20] now takes our prototype C3^{3}L implementation 241 CPU seconds, or 20 seconds with GPU acceleration. We also solve a biased four-orbital impurity with general interactions and bath hybridizations, resolving transport resonances relevant to single-molecule scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) experiments.

Problem setup.—We consider nIn_{\mathrm{I}} interacting spinful impurity orbitals with Hamiltonian

H^I=∑ijσhija^iσ†a^jσ+∑ijkl,σσ′Vijkla^iσ†a^jσ′†a^kσ′a^lσ.(1)\hat{H}_{\mathrm{I}} = \sum_{ij\sigma} h_{ij}\hat{a}^{\dagger}_{i\sigma}\hat{a}_{j\sigma} + \sum_{ijkl,\sigma\sigma'} V_{ijkl}\hat{a}^{\dagger}_{i\sigma}\hat{a}^{\dagger}_{j\sigma'}\hat{a}_{k\sigma'}\hat{a}_{l\sigma}. \tag*{(1)}

For a Gaussian bath, the lesser and greater hybridization functions Δ≷(t)\Delta^{\gtrless}(t) determine its full influence on impurity dynamics and correlation functions [51, 52]. The coupled-Lindblad construction reconstructs the bath with accuracy ε\varepsilon over a time interval of length TT using only Npm=polylog⁡(T/ε)N_{\mathrm{pm}}=\operatorname{polylog}(T/\varepsilon) modes through a numerically robust fitting procedure [27], providing a compact representation scheme of non-Markovian impurity dynamics. The impurity problem thus reduces to computing the steady state ρss\rho_{\mathrm{ss}} and the retarded Green’s function

Giσ,jσ′R(t)=−iΘ(t)Tr⁡{{a^iσ(t),a^jσ′†}ρssG^{R}_{i\sigma,j\sigma'}(t)=-i\Theta(t)\operatorname{Tr}\{\{\hat{a}_{i\sigma}(t),\hat{a}^{\dagger}_{j\sigma'}\}\rho_{\mathrm{ss}}

for the Lindblad equation dρdt=L[ρ]=−i[H^CL,ρ]+D[ρ]\frac{d\rho}{dt}=\mathcal{L}[\rho]=-i[\hat{H}_{\mathrm{CL}},\rho]+\mathcal{D}[\rho] defined by the coupled-Lindblad representation (see End Matter). Spectra and transport properties follow from these Green’s functions. Other Green’s-function components are treated similarly.

Coupled-cluster steady state and response

With the bath reduced to a few pseudomodes, it remains to compute the steady state and Green’s functions of the interacting Lindbladian. CC achieves polynomial cost with good accuracy at intermediate correlation by parametrizing the correlated steady state in terms of excitation amplitudes t\mathbf{t} through ∣ρCC⟩=eT^∣ρ0⟩|\rho_{\mathrm{CC}}\rangle=e^{\hat{T}}|\rho_{0}\rangle, where ∣∙⟩|\bullet\rangle denotes the vectorization of a density matrix. In CCSD, T^\hat{T} contains single and double excitations about the Gaussian reference ρ0\rho_{0}. EOM-CC then uses the converged steady-state amplitudes and iterative linear solvers to compute the frequency-domain Green’s function. In this work, we truncate the EOM space to S1,3\mathcal{S}_{1,3} or S1,3,5\mathcal{S}_{1,3,5}, containing configurations of ranks 1, 3 or 1, 3, 5, respectively.

C3^{3}L (Figure 1) addresses two distinct computational costs by reducing the number of orbitals needed to represent the bath, and using low-scaling solvers for the resulting correlated problem. We note that real-time QMC methods that treat the bath continuously can still entail costs growing exponentially with impurity size nIn_{\mathrm{I}}, and linearly with the time window TT [54]. By comparison, C3^{3}L achieves polynomial scaling in nIn_{\mathrm{I}} and polylogarithmic scaling in TT. As a deterministic solver, it also avoids the potentially large prefactor associated with stochastic sampling. Methodological details are provided in the End Matter and Supplemental Material Secs. S2 and S3.

Overview of the C3L solver

(b) CC parametrizes the correlated steady state. The Green’s functions are then computed using the EOM-CC formalism directly in the frequency domain.

Single- and two-impurity Anderson models.—We first benchmark systems accessible to ED and time-dependent variational principle (TDVP) calculations, starting with the particle-hole-symmetric single-impurity Anderson model with a semicircular bath. Numerical setups and additional results are given in Supplemental Material Sec. S4. In Figure 2a (β=100\beta=100, Npm=2N_{\mathrm{pm}}=2), the S1,3\mathcal{S}_{1,3} response agrees well with the ED spectra A(ω)=−1πIm⁡G~R(ω)A(\omega)=-\frac{1}{\pi}\operatorname{Im}\tilde{G}^{R}(\omega) of the same coupled-Lindblad problem at U=2U=2. Including ∣S∣=5|S|=5 excitations maintains close agreement at larger UU, up to U=10U=10. This is consistent with Hamiltonian Green’s-function CC (GFCC) results: the CCSD state remains accurate at intermediate interaction strengths, while the Green’s function requires higher EOM ranks as interactions strengthen [55, 56]. At U=10U = 10 and β=1\beta= 1, Figure 2b shows that both the hybridization fit and the spectra converge exponentially with the number of pseudomodes, illustrating the compactness of the coupled-Lindblad representation [52] [27].

Single-impurity spectra, convergence of hybridization functions and spectra, and bonding response

Figure 2. (a) Single-impurity spectra for U=2,4,6,8,10U = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, Npm=2N_{\mathrm{pm}} = 2, β=100\beta= 100, compared with ED. (b) At U=10U = 10 and β=1\beta= 1, spectral functions for Npm=1,…,6N_{\mathrm{pm}} = 1,\ldots,6 (left), and the exponential convergence of both hybridization functions and spectra (right). (c) The bonding response G+R(t)=G11R+G12RG^{R}_{+}(t) = G^{R}_{11} + G^{R}_{12} for the two-impurity Anderson model at U=2U = 2 and β=∞\beta= \infty, with Mtot=48,72M_{\mathrm{tot}} = 48, 72 unitary-bath spin orbitals. The corresponding hybridization fits are shown in Supplemental Material Fig. S3.

We next benchmark a two-impurity Anderson model against TDVP propagation with a discretized unitary bath [28] [24]. Each impurity couples to an independent semicircular bath at β=∞\beta= \infty. For a fixed time step, the number of sequential TDVP propagation steps grows linearly with the target time. C3LC^{3}\mathrm{L} instead solves directly in the real-frequency domain, allowing GR(t)G^{R}(t) over the fitted interval TT to be reconstructed by a single inverse Fourier transform. In Figure 2c, the TDVP bonding response G+RG^{R}_{+} loses accuracy at t≈2t \approx2 for Mtot=48M_{\mathrm{tot}} = 48 unitary-bath spin orbitals. Increasing the unitary bath to Mtot=72M_{\mathrm{tot}} = 72 restores agreement with C3LC^{3}\mathrm{L} up to t=3t = 3, whereas the coupled-Lindblad representation uses only Npm=4N_{\mathrm{pm}} = 4 pseudomodes. C3LC^{3}\mathrm{L} thus benefits from both a smaller bath and the low-scaling cost of the CC solver.

General interactions in multiorbital impurities.—We compare with imaginary- and real-time QMC solvers for multiorbital problems with general interactions and bath hybridizations (Figure 3a). We first consider the rotationally invariant two-orbital Kanamori interaction, relevant to two ege_g bands in correlated transition metals [22, 57],

The average sign is only 8.32×10−48.32 \times10^{-4} at β=64\beta= 64. (c) General interacting two-orbital model at β=0.1\beta= 0.1 with the inchworm result digitized from Ref. [20]: imaginary-time Green’s functions (left); Im⁡GijR(t)\operatorname{Im}G^{R}_{ij}(t) (middle) and Aij(ω)A_{ij}(\omega) (right). Insets resolve Im⁡G±R\operatorname{Im}G^{R}_{\pm} and A±A_{\pm} in the ±\pm channels, where G±R=G11R+G22R±G12R±G21R2G^{R}_{\pm} = \frac{G^{R}_{11}+G^{R}_{22}\pm G^{R}_{12}\pm G^{R}_{21}}{2} and likewise for A±A_{\pm}.

H^I=U∑in^i↑n^i↓+∑i≠j,σσ′(U′−JHδσσ′)n^iσn^jσ′+JH∑i≠j(a^i↑†a^j↓†a^i↓a^j↑+a^i↑†a^i↓†a^j↑a^j↓).(2)\hat{H}_{\mathrm{I}} = U \sum_i \hat{n}_{i\uparrow}\hat{n}_{i\downarrow} + \sum_{i\ne j,\sigma\sigma'} \left(U' - J^{\mathrm{H}}\delta_{\sigma\sigma'}\right)\hat{n}_{i\sigma}\hat{n}_{j\sigma'} + J^{\mathrm{H}}\sum_{i\ne j}\left(\hat{a}^{\dagger}_{i\uparrow}\hat{a}^{\dagger}_{j\downarrow}\hat{a}_{i\downarrow}\hat{a}_{j\uparrow} + \hat{a}^{\dagger}_{i\uparrow}\hat{a}^{\dagger}_{i\downarrow}\hat{a}_{j\uparrow}\hat{a}_{j\downarrow}\right). \tag*{(2)}

We consider the half-filled model with U=2U = 2, JH=0.2J^{\mathrm{H}} = 0.2, and U′=U−2JHU' = U - 2J^{\mathrm{H}}, coupled to a semicircular bath with equal diagonal and off-diagonal couplings. Additional benchmarks away from half filling are presented in Supplemental Material Sec. S4. We compute the imaginary-time Green’s function from the C3LC^{3}\mathrm{L} solution at Matsubara frequencies. Our CT-HYB calculations use the TRIQS library [58] and 1,200 CPU hours per temperature. Although CT-HYB generally provides numerically exact imaginary-time Green’s functions, Kanamori interactions and off-diagonal bath couplings cause a severe low-temperature sign problem [22] [13]. As shown in Figure 3b, C3LC^{3}\mathrm{L} with S1,3,5S_{1,3,5} agrees well with CT-HYB at β=8\beta= 8 and remains stable at β=64\beta= 64, where CT-HYB becomes extremely noisy. C3LC^{3}\mathrm{L} also provides real-frequency spectra directly, without analytic continuation.

The second two-orbital case tests the solver directly against state-of-the-art real-time inchworm QMC, using the general interacting model of Ref. [20]:

  60. [79]More precisely, consider separable hybridizations $\Delta^{\gtrless}(t)=\sum_{i=1}^{d}c_i^{\gtrless}(t)u_i u_i^\dagger$, with linearly independent $u_i$. If the Laplace transforms of the scalar functions $c_i^{\gtrless}$ are rational (or rationally approximated) with $N_{\mathrm{pm},i}^{\gtrless}$ poles [78], any exact realization of these rational functions requires at least $\sum_i N_{\mathrm{pm},i}^{\gtrless}$ auxiliary modes. This bound is attained by independent bath channels whenever each scalar function admits a Lindblad realization of the corresponding degree.. (n.d.).
