abstract = {We investigate the thermodynamics and transient dynamics of
the (unbiased) Ohmic two-state system by exploiting the
equivalence of this model to the interacting resonant level
model. For the thermodynamics, we show, by using the
numerical renormalization group (NRG) method, how the
universal specific heat and susceptibility curves evolve
with increasing dissipation strength α from those of an
isolated two-level system at vanishingly small dissipation
strength, with the characteristic activatedlike behavior in
this limit, to those of the isotropic Kondo model in the
limit α→1−. At any finite α>0, and for sufficiently
low temperature, the behavior of the thermodynamics is that
of a gapless renormalized Fermi liquid. Our results compare
well with available Bethe ansatz calculations at rational
values of α, but go beyond these, since our NRG
calculations, via the interacting resonant level model, can
be carried out efficiently and accurately for arbitrary
dissipation strengths 0≤α<1−. We verify the dramatic
renormalization of the low-energy thermodynamic scale T0
with increasing α, finding excellent agreement between NRG
and density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) approaches.
For the zero-temperature transient dynamics of the two-level
system, P(t)=⟨σz(t)⟩, with initial-state preparation
P(t≤0)=+1, we apply the time-dependent extension of the
NRG (TDNRG) to the interacting resonant level model, and
compare the results obtained with those from the
noninteracting-blip approximation (NIBA), the functional
renormalization group (FRG), and the time-dependent density
matrix renormalization group (TD-DMRG). We demonstrate
excellent agreement on short to intermediate time scales
between TDNRG and TD-DMRG for 0≲α≲0.9 for P(t), and
between TDNRG and FRG in the vicinity of α=12. Furthermore,
we quantify the error in the NIBA for a range of α, finding
significant errors in the latter even for 0.1≤α≤0.4. We
also briefly discuss why the long-time errors in the present
formulation of the TDNRG prevent an investigation of the
crossover between coherent and incoherent dynamics. Our
results for P(t) at short to intermediate times could act as
useful benchmarks for the development of new techniques to
simulate the transient dynamics of spin-boson problems},
