| contents | We introduce a method to simulate open quantum many-body dynamics by combining time-dependent variational Monte Carlo (tVMC) with quantum trajectory techniques. Our approach unravels the Lindblad master equation into an ensemble of stochastic Schrödinger equations for a variational ansatz, avoiding the exponential cost of density matrix evolution. The method is compatible with generic ansätze, including expressive neural-network wavefunctions. We derive the nonlinear stochastic equations of motion for the variational parameters and employ suitable Stratonovich numerical solvers. To validate our approach, we simulate quenches in the locally dissipative long-range Ising model in a transverse field, accurately capturing non-equilibrium magnetization and spin squeezing dynamics relevant to trapped-ion and Rydberg atom experiments. The framework is computationally efficient, scalable on high-performance computing platforms, and can be readily integrated into existing tVMC implementations. This work enables large-scale simulations of complex, dissipative quantum systems in higher dimensions, with broad implications for quantum technology and fundamental science. |
