Summary

This chapter introduces the method for solving time-dependent problems of quantum many-body systems. It includes the pace-keeping DMRG, time-evolving block decimation (TEBD), adaptive time-dependent DMRG, and folded transfer matrix methods. The pace-keeping DMRG, which solves the time-dependent Schrodinger equation, works independently of the dimensionality, nor the model Hamiltonian, with or without impurities. The time-evolving block decimation (TEBD) is more efficient than the pace-keeping DMRG if a one-dimensional Hamiltonian with the nearest-neighboring interactions is studied. The adaptive time-dependent DMRG provides an efficient scheme to implement TEBD with the skill of DMRG. On the other hand, the folded transfer matrix method handles the transfer matrix like TMRG by folding the transfer matrix so that the entanglement entropy along the positive and negative time evolution directions can partially cancel each other. This folding scheme significantly extends the time scale within which a time-dependent problem can be reliably investigated.
