Abstract

We present real-time inchworm quantum Monte Carlo results for single-site dynamical mean field theory on an infinite coordination number Bethe lattice. Our numerically exact results are obtained on the L-shaped Keldysh contour and, being evaluated in real time, avoid the analytic continuation issues typically encountered in Monte Carlo calculations. Our results show that inchworm Monte Carlo methods have now reached a state where they can be used as dynamical mean field impurity solvers and the dynamical sign problem can be overcome. As nonequilibrium problems can be simulated at the same cost, we envisage the main use of these methods as dynamical mean field solvers for time-dependent problems far from equilibrium.
