Popis: We present an approach to tame the growth of entanglement during time evolution by tensor network methods. It combines time evolution in the complex plane with a perturbative and controlled reconstruction of correlation functions on the real-time axis. We benchmark our approach on the single impurity Anderson model. Compared to purely real-time evolution, the complex time evolution significantly reduces the required bond dimension to obtain the spectral function. Notably, our approach yields self-energy results with high precision at low frequencies, comparable to numerical renormalization group (NRG) results, and it successfully captures the exponentially small Kondo energy scale.
