Double excitations from the solution of the Kadanoff--Baym equations — •Karsten Balzer and Michael Bonitz — Institut für Theoretische Physik und Astrophysik, CAU Kiel, Leibnizstraße 15, 24098 Kiel

In a quantum many--body system, the population of states of double excitation character (doubly excited states) is a clear indicator for correlations importantly contributing to the nonequilibrium dynamics.

In this contribution, we analyze such correlation-induced transitions, being absent in a mean--field Hartree--Fock (HF) treatment, on the basis of the nonequilibrium Green function solving the Kadanoff--Baym equations by direct time--propagation [1]. As test system, we consider a four--electron quantum dot at zero temperature in the regime of moderate--to--strong coupling (see also poster by S. Hermanns [3]). The approximate (HF and second-order Born) absorption spectra are compared to exact diagonalization results where singly, doubly and other multiply excited states are identified by means of the approximate excitation level [2].
