Monte Carlo wavefunctions in quantum optics
Klaus Mølmer, Yvan Castin
In this paper we present a review of the Monte Carlo wavefunction method. We discuss some aspects of its application in numerical simulations, and we comment on some of its relations to the foundations of quantum physics. Finally, we investigate the generalization to problems that have so far not been considered tractable by this method - in particular, nonlinear master equations may become relevant, and we discuss the application of Monte Carlo wavefunctions to such problems.
