Modeling the non-equilibrium dissipative dynamics of strongly interacting quantized degrees of freedom is a fundamental problem in several branches of physics and chemistry. We implement a quantum state trajectory scheme for solving Lindblad quantum master equations that describe coherent and dissipative processes for a set of strongly coupled quantized oscillators. The scheme involves a sequence of stochastic quantum jumps with transition probabilities determined by the system state and the system-reservoir dynamics. Between consecutive jumps, the wave function is propagated in a coordinate space using the multi-configuration time-dependent Hartree method. We compare this hybrid propagation methodology with exact Liouville space solutions for physical systems of interest in cavity quantum electrodynamics, demonstrating accurate results for experimentally relevant observables using a tractable number of quantum trajectories. We show the potential for solving the dissipative dynamics of finite size arrays of strongly interacting quantized oscillators with high excitation densities, a scenario that is challenging for conventional density matrix propagators due to the large dimensionality of the underlying Hilbert space.

During peer review, we became aware of Refs. 58 and 59 with an equivalent implementation of the Monte Carlo MCTDH scheme developed in this work, but applied to the coupled dynamics of the internal stretch and the surface–molecule distance in the O2/Pt(111) system coupled to a Markovian bath of electron–hole-pairs.
