abstract = {We introduce a method to obtain the specific heat of
quantum impurity models via a direct calculation of the
impurity internal energy requiring only the evaluation of
local quantities within a single numerical renormalization
group (NRG) calculation for the total system. For the
Anderson impurity model we show that the impurity internal
energy can be expressed as a sum of purely local static
correlation functions and a term that involves also the
impurity Green function. The temperature dependence of the
latter can be neglected in many cases, thereby allowing the
impurity specific heat C-imp to be calculated accurately
from local static correlation functions; specifically via
C-imp = partial derivative E-ionic/partial derivative T +
1/2 partial derivative E-hyb/partial derivative T, where
E-ionic and E-hyb are the energies of the (embedded)
impurity and the hybridization energy, respectively. The
term involving the Green function can also be evaluated in
cases where its temperature dependence is non-negligible,
adding an extra term to C-imp. For the nondegenerate
Anderson impurity model, we show by comparison with exact
Bethe ansatz calculations that the results recover
accurately both the Kondo induced peak in the specific heat
at low temperatures as well as the high-temperature peak due
to the resonant level. The approach applies to multiorbital
and multichannel Anderson impurity models with arbitrary
local Coulomb interactions. An application to the Ohmic
two-state system and the anisotropic Kondo model is also
given, with comparisons to Bethe ansatz calculations. The
approach could also be of interest within other impurity
solvers, for example, within quantum Monte Carlo
techniques.},
