In this paper, we present benchmark results for dissipative dynamics of a harmonic oscillator coupled to an anharmonic bath of Morse oscillators. The microscopic Hamiltonian has been chosen so that the anharmonicity can be adjusted as a free parameter, and its effect can be isolated. This leads to a temperature dependent spectral density of the bath, which is studied for ohmic and lorentzian cases.

Abstract

In this paper, we present benchmark results for dissipative dynamics of a harmonic oscillator coupled to an anharmonic bath of Morse oscillators. The microscopic Hamiltonian has been chosen so that the anharmonicity can be adjusted as a free parameter, and its effect can be isolated. This leads to a temperature dependent spectral density of the bath, which is studied for ohmic and lorentzian cases. Also, we compare numerically exact multiconfiguration time-dependent Hartree results with approximate solutions using continuous configuration time-dependent self-consistent field and local coherent state approximation.
