Lanczos-adapted time evolution for open boundary quantum transport
نویسنده
چکیده
We increase the efficiency of a recently proposed time integration scheme for time dependent quantum transport by using the Lanczos method for time evolution. We illustrate our modified scheme in terms of a simple one dimensional model. Our results show that the Lanczos-adapted scheme gives a large increase in numerical efficiency, and is an advantageous route for numerical time integration in ab initio treatment of open boundary quantum transport phenomena.

The Quantum Statistical Mechanical Theory of Transport Processes
A new derivation of the quantum Boltzmann transport equation for the Fermion system from the quantum time evolution equation for the wigner distribution function is presented. The method exhibits the origin of the time - irreversibility of the Boltzmann equation. In the present work, the spin dependent and indistinguishibility of particles are also considered.
متن کاملA Quasilocal Hamiltonian for Gravity with Classical and Quantum Applications
I modify the quasilocal energy formalism of Brown and York into a purely Hamiltonian form. As part of the reformulation, I remove their restriction that the time evolution of the boundary of the spacetime be orthogonal to the leaves of the time foliation. Thus the new formulation allows an arbitrary evolution of the boundary which physically corresponds to allowing general motions of the set of...

We study time integration methods for equations of mixed quantum-classical molecular dynamics in which Newtonian equations of motion and Schrr odinger equations are nonlinearly coupled. Such systems exhibit diierent time scales in the classical and the quantum evolution, and the solutions are typically highly oscillatory. The numerical methods use the exponential of the quantum Hamiltonian whos...

In recent years, semiconductor nanostructures have become the model systems of choice for investigation of electrical conduction on short length scales. Quantum transport is studied in a two dimensional electron gas because of the combination of a large Fermi wavelength and large mean free path. In the present work, a numerical method is implemented in order to contribute to the understanding ...
متن کاملA Hamiltonian Krylov-Schur-type method based on the symplectic Lanczos process
We discuss a Krylov-Schur like restarting technique applied within the symplectic Lanczos algorithm for the Hamiltonian eigenvalue problem. This allows to easily implement a purging and locking strategy in order to improve the convergence properties of the symplectic Lanczos algorithm. The Krylov-Schur-like restarting is based on the SR algorithm. Some ingredients of the latter need to be adapt...
