contents We derive an extended version of the hierarchical equations of motion (HEOM) to compute output physical properties of a bosonic environment, which is allowed to be initially prepared at an earlier time in a non-Gaussian input state and then non-perturbatively interact with a quantum system with a linear environmental operator. While spectral assumptions analogous to the ones used in the regular HEOM are imposed to compute dynamical output bath observables, they are not required to model input states or output observables at a fixed time, in this case leading to time-dependent contributions to the equations. In the Markovian limit, we use this formalism to derive an input-output Lindblad equation which can be used to extend the applicability of the regular version. For a given desired input state and output observable, the range of the indexes extending the regular HEOM is, by construction, bounded. Overall, the aim of this formalism is to take advantage of the efficiency and generality of the HEOM framework to model non-Gaussian input states and the dynamics of environmental observables in bosonic, non-Markovian open quantum systems.
