Description
We demonstrate that with a stepwise introduction of
complexity to a model of an electron system embedded in a
photonic cavity and a carefully controlled stepwise
truncation of the ensuing many-body space it is possible to
describe the time-dependent transport of electrons through
the system with a non-Markovian generalized quantum master
equation. We show how this approach retains effects of the
geometry of an anisotropic electronic system. The Coulomb
interaction between the electrons and the full
electromagnetic coupling between the electrons and the
photons are treated in a non-perturbative way using "exact
numerical diagonalization". We will elucidate how the
sequential tunneling of electrons in and out of the system
is influenced by the symmetry of their wavefunctions and
spin structure, i.e. how correlation effects shape the
dynamic transport properties of these few electron systems.
