PG - 064107 LID - 10.1063/1.5136093 [doi] AB - The hierarchical equations of motion (HEOM) method has become one of the most popular methods for the studies of the open quantum system. However, its applicability to systems at ultra-low temperatures is largely restrained by the enormous computational cost, which is caused by the numerous exponential functions required to accurately characterize the non-Markovian memory of the reservoir environment. To overcome this problem, a Fano spectrum decomposition (FSD) scheme has been proposed recently [Cui et al., J. Chem. Phys. 151, 024110 (2019)], which expands the reservoir correlation functions using polynomial-exponential functions and hence greatly reduces the size of the memory basis set. In this work, we explicitly establish the FSD-based HEOM formalisms for both bosonic and fermionic environments. The accuracy and efficiency of the FSD-based HEOM are exemplified by the calculated low-temperature dissipative dynamics of a spin-boson model and the dynamic and static properties of a single-orbital Anderson impurity model in the Kondo regime. The encouraging numerical results highlight the practicality and usefulness of the FSD-based HEOM method for general open systems at ultra-low temperatures.
