Stochastic Wave-Function Unravelling of the Generalized Lindblad Master Equation

Recently a generalized master equation was derived that extends the Lindblad theory to highly non-Markovian quantum processes (H.-P. Breuer, Phys. Rev. A $\mathbf{\text{75}}$, 022103 (2007)). We perform a stochastic unravelling of this master equation by considering $n$ random state vectors that satisfy the corresponding stochastic differential equation for a piecewise deterministic process. As an application we consider a two-state system randomly coupled to an environment consisting of two energy bands with finite number of levels. Our numerical results are compared to results obtained from the time-convolutionless (TCL) projection operator method using correlated projection superoperators and the exact solution of the Schr"{o}dinger equation for this system.
