Why are quantum impurity problems important?
• Quantum systems in interaction with the environment (decoherence)
• Magnetic impurities in metals (Kondo effect)
• Electrons trapped in nanostructures (transport phenomena)
• Effective models in dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) of strongly-correlated materials

SNEG - features
• fermionic (Majorana, Dirac) and bosonic operators, Grassman numbers
• basis construction (well defined number and spin (Q,S), isospin and spin (I,S), etc.)
• symbolic sums over dummy indexes (k, )• Wick’s theorem (with either empty band or
Fermi sea vacuum states)• Dirac’s bra and ket notation• Simplifications using Baker-Campbell-
Hausdorff and Mendaš-Milutinović formula

SNEG - applications
• exact diagonalization of small clusters• perturbation theory to high order• high-temperature series expansion• evaluation of (anti-)commutators of
complex expressions• NRG
– derivation of coefficients required in the NRG iteration
– problem setup

• Implementation using modern high-level programming paradigms (functional programming in Mathematica, object oriented programming in C++) short and maintainable code
• Efficiency (LAPACK routines for diagonalization)• Free availability

Conclusions
• Impurity clusters can be systematically studied with ease using flexible NRG codes
• Very rich physics: various Kondo regimes, quantum phase transitions, etc. But to what extent can these effects be experimentally observed?
• Towards more realistic models: better description of inter-dot interactions, role of QD shape and distances.
