Abstract
The non-Markovian wave function method (NMWF) using the stochastic unravelling of the master equation in the doubled Hilbert space is implemented for quantum Brownian motion. A comparison between the simulation and the analytical results shows that the method can be conveniently used to study the non-Markovian dynamics of the system.
