Equilibrium-reduced density matrix formulation: Influence of noise, disorder, and temperature on localization in excitonic systems

An exact method to compute the entire equilibrium-reduced density matrix for systems characterized by a system-bath Hamiltonian is presented. The approach is based upon a stochastic unraveling of the influence functional that appears in the imaginary time path integral formalism of quantum statistic...
