摘要

After a general background on the theories of open quantum systems, I will present the Dissipaton Equation of Motion (DEOM) theory [1], developed in my group since 2014. Physically, dissipatons are statistical quasi-particles that describe the influences of Gaussian hybrid environments. The underlying dissipaton algebra includes especially the generalized Wick's theorem for both hybridization coordinates [1,2] and conjugated momentums [3]. This generalizes and enriches the existing exact and nonperturbative approaches, such as the numerical renormalization group method, the Feynman-Vernon path-integral influence functional formalism and its time-derivative equivalence. The DEOM theory enables accurate evaluations on strongly correlated impurities systems, covering from thermodynamics to quantum transport and quantum noise problems. I will also present some all-first-principles studies on realist single-molecular spintronic systems, which combine the DEOM dynamics and the conventional electronic structural determinations [4].
