Abstract A generalization of the stochastic wave function method is presented that allows the unraveling of arbitrary linear quantum master equations that are not necessarily in Lindblad form and, moreover, the explicit treatment of memory effects by employing the time-convolutionless projection operator technique. The crucial point of this construction is the description of the open system in a doubled Hilbert space, which has already been successfully used for the computation of multitime correlation functions.
