Abstract
The chapter describes a Monte Carlo method’s implementation for analyzing the dynamics of open quantum systems—so-called quantum trajectories method. The discussed implementation is realized with use of the CUDA technology. It should be pointed out that using GPU in this approach allows to increase the performance of the quantum trajectories method’s simulation.
