Wave-function simulation of the master equation in terms of quantum jumps is illustrated for vacuum, thermal, and squeezed reservoirs. We discuss simulation techniques for (i) atomic density matrices, and resonance fluoresence and weak-field absorption spectra of atoms, (ii) decay of a two-level system in a squeezed vacuum, and (iii) a strongly coupled atom-cavity system driven by thermal light.
