We use the adaptive time-dependent density matrix renormalization group method (t-DMRG) to study the nonequilibrium dynamics of a benchmark quantum impurity system which has a time-dependent Hamiltonian. This model is a resonant-level model, obtained by a mapping from a certain ohmic spin-boson model describing the dissipative Landau-Zener transition. Some techniques from the numerical renormalization group method (NRG) are borrowed to transform this model to a DMRG-friendly form. We compare t-DMRG results with exact results at zero temperature and find very good agreement. We also give a physical interpretation of the numerical results.
