Description

The is the code to reproduce the results in arXiv:1903.05892. A special matsubara.heom.HeomUB class is provided to implement the Hierarchical Equations of Motion method adapted for the underdamped Brownian motion spectral density.

We focus on the zero temperature case where the correlation function can be expressed using four exponents - two "non-Matsubara" and two "Matsubara" exponents. The "Matsubara" exponents give rise to seemingly unphysical modes which nevertheless are essential to get correct physical results, e.g., virtual photon population.

We also present a Reaction Coordinate method and a pseudomode approach to study the problem and show the crucial role of the Matsubara terms by effectively expressing them with a biexponential fit.
