Abstract

The interrelationship between the non-Markovian stochastic Schrödinger equations and non-Markovian master equations in the finite-temperature regimes was investigated. The exact non-Markovian master equation of the damped harmonic oscillator at finite temperatures was obtained by averaging the stochastic Schrödinger equation. The convolutionless master equations makes non-Markovian property to encode in the time-dependent coefficients. The non-Markovian quantum trajectories provides a useful tool in handling exact or approximate non-Markovian master equations.
