Few-body structures of Quantum impurity problems in the Heisenberg picture — •Maxime Debertolis — University of Bonn

Quantum impurity problems are known to exhibit a simplified representation of their ground state or for quench protocols when an optimized single-particle basis is chosen. This work extends the study of single-particle rotations taylored to operators in the Heisenberg picture. We present the concept of natural super-orbitals for many-body operators, defined as the eigenvectors of the one-body super-density matrix associated with a vectorized operator. These objects are related to measures of non- Gaussianity of operators associated to the occupations of the natural super-orbitals. We perform a numerical investigation of the natural super-orbitals corresponding to both the time-evolution operator and a time-evolved local operator in the t-V model and in a quantum impurity model using tensor network simulations. In the quantum impurity model, occupations of the natural orbitals for both operators decay exponentially at all times. More surprisingly, the non-Gaussianity of the local operator saturates in time. This indicates that only a small number of orbitals contribute significantly to quantum correlations, enabling a compact matrix-product-operator representation. This framework opens the door to future research that leverages the compressed structure of operators in their natural super-orbital basis, enabling for instance the computation of out-of-time-order correlators in large interacting systems over extended time scales.
