Hybrid NRG-DMRG approach to real-time dynamics of quantum impurity systems

A hybrid approach to nonequilibrium dynamics of quantum impurity systems is presented. The numerical renormalization group serves as a means to generate a suitable low-energy Hamiltonian, allowing for an accurate evaluation of the real-time dynamics of the problem up to exponentially long times using primarily the time-adaptive density-matrix renormalization group. We extract the decay time of the interaction-enhanced oscillations in the interacting resonant-level model and show their quadratic divergence with the interaction strength U. Our numerical analysis is in excellent agreement with analytic predictions based on an expansion in 1/U.
