## Abstract

We present an algorithm to simulate genuine, measurement-conditioned quantum trajectories for a class of non-Markovian systems, using a collision model for the environment. We derive two versions of the algorithm, the first corresponding to photodetection and the second to homodyne detection with a finite local oscillator amplitude. We use the algorithm to simulate trajectories for a system with delayed coherent feedback, as well as a system with a continuous memory.
