The '''quantum jump method''', also known as the '''[[Monte Carlo method|Monte Carlo]] wave function (MCWF)''' is a technique in [[computational physics]] used for simulating [[open quantum system]]s and [[quantum dissipation]]. The quantum jump method was developed by [[Jean Dalibard|Dalibard]], Castin and [[Klaus Mølmer|Mølmer]] -at a verysimilar time to the similar method known as [[Quantum Trajectory Theory]] was also developed by [[Howard Carmichael|Carmichael]] in the same time frame. Other contemporaneous works on wave-function-based [[Monte Carlo method|Monte Carlo]] approaches to open quantum systems include those of Dum, [[Peter Zoller|Zoller]] and [[Helmut Ritsch|Ritsch]] and Hegerfeldt and Wilser.<ref name="MCD1993" /><ref name="PrimaryPapers">The associated primary sources are, respectively:
