We extend the coupled-cluster method to correlated quantum dynamics of both closed and open systems at finite temperatures using the thermofield formalism. The approach expresses the time-dependent density matrix in an exponential ansatz and describes time-evolution along the Keldysh path contour. A distinct advantage of the approach is exact trace-preservation as a function of time, ensuring conservation of probability and particle number. Furthermore, the method avoids the computation of correlated bra-states, simplifying the computational implementation. We develop the method in a thermal quasiparticle representation, which allows seamless connection to the projection method and diagrammatic techniques of the traditional coupled-cluster formalism. For comparison, we also apply the thermofield framework to the density-matrix renormalization-group method to obtain reference results for closed and open systems at finite temperature. We test the singles and doubles approximation to the density-matrix coupled-cluster method on the correlated electronic dynamics of the single-impurity Anderson model, demonstrating that the new method successfully captures the correlated dynamics of both closed systems at finite temperature and driven-dissipative open systems. This encouraging performance motivates future applications to nonequilibrium quantum many-body dynamics in realistic systems.
