  We generalize the Time-Dependent Variational Principle (TDVP) to dissipative
systems using Monte Carlo methods, allowing the application of existing
variational classes for pure states, such as Matrix Product States (MPS), to
the simulation of Lindblad master equation dynamics. The key step is to use
sampling to approximately solve the Fokker-Planck equation derived from the
Lindblad generators. An important computational advantage of this method,
compared to other variational approaches to mixed state dynamics, is that it is
"embarrassingly parallel".
