• Abstract: Stochastic unravelings are a widely used tool to solve open quantum system dynamics, in which the exact solution is obtained via an average over a stochastic process on the set of pure quantum states. Recently, the generalized rate operator unraveling formalism was derived, allowing not only for an engineering of the stochastic realizations, but also to unravel without reverse jumps even for some dynamics in which P-divisibility is violated, thus hugely improving the simulation efficiency. This is possible because the unraveling depend on an arbitrary non-linear transformation which can incorporate the memory effects. In this work, a stochastic Schr\"odinger equation for this formalism is derived, both for cases with and without reverse jumps. It is also shown that a failure of this method can be used to witness master equations leading unphysical time evolutions, independently on the particular non-linear transformation considered.

  We reformulate the technique of third quantization in a way that explicitly connects all three methods. We first show that our formulation reveals a fundamental dissipative symmetry present in all quadratic bosonic or fermionic Lindbladians. For bosons, we then show that the Wigner function and the characteristic function can be thought of as ''wavefunctions'' of the density matrix.

  Linear combinations of complex gaussian functions are shown to be an extremely flexible representation for the solution of the Schr"odinger equation in one spatial dimension. We present a scheme based on the method of vertical lines, or Rothe's method, for propagation of such wavefunctions. This paves the way for accurate and affordable solutions of the time-dependent Schr"odinger equation for multi-atom molecules beyond the Born--Oppenheimer approximation.

  Unavoidable coupling of quantum systems to external degrees of freedom leads to dissipative (non-unitary) dynamics. We introduce a method to deal with these systems based on the calculation of (dissipative) lattice Green's function. We illustrate the power of this method with several examples of driven-dissipative bosonic chains of increasing complexity.
