contents We propose and demonstrate a unified hierarchical method to measure $n$-point correlation functions that can be applied to driven, dissipative, or otherwise open or non-equilibrium quantum systems. In this method, the time evolution of the system is repeatedly interrupted by interacting an ancilla qubit with the system through a controlled operation, and measuring the ancilla immediately afterwards. We discuss the robustness of this method as compared to other ancilla-based interferometric techniques (such as the Hadamard test), and highlight its advantages for near-term quantum simulations of open quantum systems. We implement the method on a quantum computer in order to measure single-particle Green's functions of a driven-dissipative fermionic system. This work shows that dynamical correlation functions for driven-dissipative systems can be robustly measured with near-term quantum computers.
