• Abstract: The numerical simulation of non-Markovian open quantum systems based on the non-Markovian quantum state diffusion (NMQSD) equation is complicated by functional derivatives with respect to the stochastic process. A general numerical framework that directly treats these functional derivatives without relying on prescribed decompositions of the bath correlation function is still lacking. In this work, we derive an analytical solution of the linear NMQSD equation that reveals three elementary structures of the non-Markovian stochastic dynamics: stochastic propagation, functional-derivative insertion, and memory pairing. Based on this structure, we construct a general auxiliary-state framework for arbitrary bath correlation functions. The framework separates the numerical construction into time discretization, memory quadrature, and hierarchy truncation. We then construct first- and second-order schemes and provide diagrammatic transition rules for their explicit implementation. Numerical results verify the expected temporal accuracy and demonstrate the applicability of the proposed methods to different bath correlation functions and multi-level quantum systems.
