This feature not only makes it possible to study the full statistics of fluctuating variables in the system, it also provides access to efficient numerical Monte-Carlo simulations. Here, we discuss time-local quantum master equations that do not have the Lindblad form, which appear for example in the study of non-Markovian open quantum systems. We show that such master equations can still be unraveled in quantum trajectories, making it possible to apply Monte-Carlo tools to non-Markovian setups. We discuss the convergence behavior of such unravelings at long times as well as the correspondence between the unravelings and the physical fluctuations. Moreover, we introduce the non-Markovian Monte-Carlo solver which is based on this theory and was recently added to QuTiP to facilitate simulations of Lindblad equations with negative rates.
