An variational expression for the zero temperature polaron impedance is obtained by minimizing the free energy in a generalized quadratic Feynman model. The impedance function of the quadratic model serves as the variational parameter. It is shown that a very small change in the energy can be accompanied by a large change in the optical conductivity. This is related to the insensitivity of the Jensen-Feynman free energy to the UV properties of the model. Analytic and numeric results are derived for the Fr\"ohlich polaron in weak and strong coupling. Standard results are recovered at weak coupling but, more importantly, strong coupling inconsistencies are removed.

  1. Quantum algorithm for dephasing of coupled systems: decoupling and IQP duality

    quant-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0

    A quantum algorithm simulates unital dephasing dynamics by sampling stochastic unitaries and decouples coupled fermion-boson dephasing into an IQP circuit that controls the fermion evolution.
