18. Non-Lindblad-form master equations (including integro-differential equations and non-autonomous differential equations) are also widely used, when the Markov approximation is invalid. For such systems the unravelling of the master equation into stochastic trajectories cannot be interpreted using standard quantum measurement theory; see Ref. [17]. The theory of this Letter is thus limited to master equations of the form of Eq. (1).
