Abstract

We generalize the sample-based Krylov quantum diagonalization (SKQD) method from ground-state calculations to the evaluation of single-particle Green's functions. By constructing and sampling unitary Krylov subspaces in the N +/- 1 particle-number sectors and evaluating all sector-connecting overlaps classically, the approach reconstructs the Green's function via a Lanczos continued fraction while retaining the shallow-circuit, ancilla-free character of SKQD. The quantum device is required only to prepare and sample short-time evolutions. Applied to the particle-hole-symmetric single-impurity Anderson model in chain geometry, with the discrete bath representation used in dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT), the method recovers the spectral function using a relatively small fraction of the full Hilbert space. Across a range of interaction strengths that spans the metal-insulator transition, the main spectral features are reproduced. These results suggest that SKQD-based Green's-function calculations may allow DMFT impurity solvers with a larger number of bath sites on near-term quantum hardware than is currently practical.

A Basis-Aware Approach to Quantum Sampling of the Fermi-Hubbard Ladder

Sample-based quantum diagonalization can reduce the classical cost of many-body calculations by restricting diagonalization to configurations identified through quantum sampling, but its efficiency depends on how compactly the target state is represented in the sampled basis. We investigate this dependence for sample-b...

Floquet Green's functions for lattice electrons driven by Gaussian quantum light

We formulate Floquet Green's functions for noninteracting single-band lattice electrons driven by a reservoir-stabilized single-mode Gaussian quantum light source. The source is prescribed externally and is not updated by the many-electron polarization, while an active electronic probe still conditions the source evolu...

Finite-temperature Green's function cluster expansion from thermofield doubles: Breakdown of the polaron picture

We introduce a method, numerically exact in principle, for computing the momentum- and frequency-resolved single-particle Green's function of a polaron at finite temperature. The method, which we refer to as the finite-temperature Green's function cluster expansion, combines two ingredients: the generalized Green's fun...

Compact representation of strongly correlated Green's functions: the MOR+EC way to explore phase space

Repeated evaluation of the single-particle Green's function (GF) across parameter space is a recurring bottleneck in many-body methods, limiting the resolution at which phase boundaries may be probed and the frequency resolution of computed spectra. We introduce MOR+EC, a framework that constructs reusable reduced-orde...

Efficient nonequilibrium electron dynamics from first-principles: leveraging Koopmans spectral functionals and Wannier localization

We present an efficient first-principles approach for simulating the nonequilibrium electron dynamics in extended systems beyond the linear regime. The method combines Koopmans-compliant functionals, which provide an accurate quasiparticle band structures, with the real-time evolution of the electronic density matrix i...

A semiclassical Hilbert space for random matrix theory

We study the one-sided time evolution of thermofield double (TFD) states in random matrix theory, where the Hamiltonian is taken to be a $D\times D$ random matrix drawn from a unitarily invariant emsemble of Hermitian matrices. We argue that the Krylov basis with the maximally entangled state taken as the initial vecto...
