  3. Introductory note We study the JWM model canonical by now for study of transient processes using NGF: Generally known advantages – rich physical content & easy analytic study More recently, several groups used this model to treat transients starting at a finite initial time: This paper contributes to the topic of finite time initial conditions. We confine ourselves to the non-interacting limit, which permits to obtain basic results in a closed analytic form. We use this advantage to look into the contrast between correlated and uncorrelated initial conditions in detail.

  4. NGF for a finite initial time Reduction for a non-interacting system fancy letters – entire system

  5. Molecular bridge: NGF for a transient For a non-interacting bridge, the NGF for a transient starting at tI from an arbitrary initial state can be obtained directly by a simple quantum mechanical calculation which can be given a field-theoretic appearance and interpretation.

  9. Dyson equations for propagators by Löwdin (Hilbert space) partitioning Free propagators are block diagonal  partitioning expressions Dyson equations for global propagators are unitary Dyson equations for the island state propagators result This coincides, of course, with the standard JWM result ... propagators in the non-interacting case do not depend on statistics ... on the initial state. - - - and the same forGA

  17. Uncorrelated initial conditionexploring the analogy Uncorrelated initial condition is defined by Initial distribution is block-diagonal  the island and lead states are only coupled dynamically, through , not by the initial condition. As expected, The Dyson equation reduces to which is equivalent with the standard Keldysh form of the initial condition

  18. Uncorrelated initial conditionexploring the analogy Uncorrelated initial condition is defined by Initial distribution is block-diagonal  the island and lead states are only coupled dynamically, through , not by the initial condition. As expected, The Dyson equation reduces to which is equivalent with the standard Keldysh form of the initial condition

  19. Uncorrelated initial conditionself-energy independent of initial time • Self-energy • does not simplify for the uncorrelated initial condition • Stronger condition • implies • independent of initial time • somewhat like the fluctuation-dissipation structure ... towards the KB Ansatz • identical with the JWM form of self-energy

  20. Initial states created by switch-on processes A “physical” initial state is prepared at t=tIby a switch-on process antecedent to our transient. The initial conditions at this instant are fully captured by the NGF for the joint process {preparation & transient}. The transient NGF is extracted by a projection on times future with respect to tI (time partitioning).

  32. Time partitioning and decay of correlations propagation in the future Typical contribution to G< : propagation in the past self-energies link the past and the future If a finite time for the decay of correlations exists ... the self-energies are concentrated to a strip around the equal time diagonal of a width , the depth of interpenetration of the past and the future around tI is the same (Bogolyubov principle).

  33. Various approaches to correlated initial conditions Two complementary techniques dealing with correlated initial conditions in current use are compared :  those using characteristics of the initial state at tI Here ... the direct method  those using the NGF along an extended Schwinger-Keldysh loop Here ... the time partitioning

  34. Two approaches to the correlated initial conditions Correlated initial conditions have more recently been attacked along two complementary lines:  the diachronous techniques: the finite-time Keldysh loop is extended, commonly by an imaginary stretch, the NGF determined along the extended contour starting at an uncorrelated state; either this is the result, or the finite-loop NGF is deduced by a contraction Fujita  Hall  Danielewicz  … Wagner  Morozov&Röpke …  the synchronous techniques: the correlated initial state represented by a chain of correlation functions at a single -- initial time instant and suitably terminated KlimontovichKremp … Bonitz&Semkat …

  35. Diachronous vs. synchronous for our bridge model • Use of the Keldysh switch-on states with a subsequent time-partitioning is a variant of diachronous methods • Direct solution by Hilbert space partitioning permits in this special case an exact explicit result by the synchronous approach • With the two solutions at hand, we were able to derive one from the other verifying their equivalence and visualizing the underlying complementarity of both views. • Basic idea

  37. Molecular bridge with time-dependent coupling One source of transient behavior in the bridge structure are fast changes in the coupling strengths of both junctions. We contrast different sudden transitions between a coupled and an uncoupled state of a junction, some reducing to the uncorrelated initial state, other manifest-ing the correlated behavior.

  38. Time dependent coupling • Changes in the coupling strength of the junctions are interesting • can be very fast – extreme of possibility of ensuing transients • exotic – represent a time dependent “interaction” strength in our analogy • partitioning in time is technically well suited • Bridge Hamiltonian further specialized • All time dependence in the  amplitudes • Processes start as switch-on at , • the couplings switched on adiabatically in part (preparation), • then vary arbitrarily starting from (transient – observation)

  39. Expressions for self-energy of the switch-on processes All components of the self-energy have only regular parts ( ... ) identical with usual JWM expressions: These “host process” self-energies will serve as input for generating the transient self-energies by partitioning-in-time
