Simulation methods for light-matter interactions able to reproduce quantum phenomena are typically either too idealised or too computationally expensive, and cannot be easily interfaced with classical Maxwell solvers. Here, the authors propose and numerically test a modelling framework for light-matter interactions using stochastic differential equations, which can properly account for the dynamics of open quantum systems.
