The coherent superposition of non-orthogonal fermionic Gaussian states has been shown to be an efficient approximation to the ground states of quantum impurity problems [Bravyi and Gosset,Comm. Math. Phys.,356 451 (2017)]. We present a practical approach for performing a variational calculation based on such states. Our method is based on approximate imaginary-time equations of motion that decouple the dynamics of each Gaussian state forming the ansatz. It is independent of the lattice connectivity of the model and the implementation is highly parallelizable. To benchmark our variational method, we calculate the spin-spin correlation function and R\'enyi entanglement entropy of an Anderson impurity, allowing us to identify the screening cloud and compare to density matrix renormalization group calculations. Secondly, we study the screening cloud of the two-channel Kondo model, a problem difficult to tackle using existing numerical tools.

Matrix Elements of Fermionic Gaussian Operators in Arbitrary Pauli Bases: A Pfaffian Formula
Every matrix element of a fermionic Gaussian operator between arbitrary Pauli product states is expressed as a single Pfaffian of a 2L by 2L kernel with explicitly tabulated sign matrices.
