| contents | Based on the process tensor framework, we extend the time-evolving matrix product operator (TEMPO) method to solve bosonic quantum impurity problems (QIPs) with off-diagonal system-bath coupling. Our method is a most generic extension of TEMPO, which applies for any QIPs as long as the bath is noninteracting and the system is linearly coupled to the bath. It naturally contains all the current developments of TEMPO in more restricted settings. As an application, we study the real-time dynamics of a spin that is coupled to a sub-ohmic bath via the Jaynes-Cummings-type system-bath coupling, and compare it against that of the standard spin-boson model. Our results show that the commonly used secular approximation could easily fail in presence of a structural bath. Our method provides a unified framework to understand different variants of TEMPO and directly suggests a fermionic generalization which has not been explored so far, it could also be straightforwardly used as an impurity solver in the bosonic dynamical mean field theory. |
