SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the Interacting Resonant Level Model (IRLM), specifically addressing the Hamiltonian formulation involving fermionic creation and annihilation operators in left and right leads. The user seeks to diagonalize the Hamiltonian using a basis transformation but encounters difficulties with the Bogoliubov transformation, leading to divergences in the anticommutation relations. The challenge lies in expressing the Hamiltonian in a diagonal form while maintaining the fermionic nature of the operators.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum mechanics and Hamiltonian mechanics
  • Familiarity with fermionic creation and annihilation operators

Hey guys this
is my first question, I am trying to solve a first approach of the interacting resonant level model (IRLM), where we suppose that there is only one energy level acting as a quantum dot between the leads. The hamiltonian is of the form

\begin{eqnarray}
H=\sum_{kL}\epsilon_{kL} c_{kL}^{\dagger}c_{kL} + \sum_{kR}\epsilon_{kR} c_{kR}^{\dagger}c_{kR} - t \sum_{kL,kR}\phi_{kL(0)}\phi_{kR(0)}^* c_{kL}^{\dagger}c_{kR} + \phi_{kL(0)}^* \phi_{kR(0)} c_{kR}^{\dagger}c_{kL}
\end{eqnarray}

where the $c_{ks}^{\dagger} , c_{ks}$ with $s=L,R$ refers to the fermionic creation/annihilation operators n the left and right lead respectively. The $ \phi_{ks} (0)$ are the eigenfunctions of the single particle hamiltonian when we have a delta function as a barrier ($\delta (x)$)at $x=0$, that is the single particle equivalent problem.\\

I would like to express the hamiltonian in another basis, where it is diagonalised and that also had fermionic operators, but I have just tried a Bogoliubov transformation for fermions and realized that I cant, because the u and v parameters become sines and cosines and in some time I get a divergence with the anticommutation relations. Does anyone know how to solve this? Thank you!
