This paper presents an efficient algorithm for the time evolution of open quantum many-body systems using matrix-product states (MPS) proposing a convenient structure of the MPS-architecture, which exploits the initial state of system and reservoir. By doing so, numerically expensive re-ordering protocols are circumvented. It is applicable to systems with a Markovian type of interaction, where only the present state of the reservoir needs to be taken into account. Its adaption to a non-Markovian type of interaction between the many-body system and the reservoir is demonstrated, where the information backflow from the reservoir needs to be included in the computation. Also, the derivation of the basis in the quantum stochastic Schrödinger picture is shown. As a paradigmatic model, the Heisenberg spin chain with nearest-neighbor interaction is used. It is demonstrated that the algorithm allows for the access of large systems sizes. As an example for a non-Markovian type of interaction, the generation of highly unusual steady states in the many-body system with coherent feedback control is demonstrated for a chain length of N=30.

Seke's self-consistent projection-operator method has been developed for deriving non-Markovian equations of motion for probability amplitudes of a relevant set of state vectors. This method, in a Born-like approximation, leads automatically to an Hamiltonian restricted to a subspace and thus enables the construction of effective Hamiltonians. In the present paper, in order to explain the efficiency of Seke's method in particular applications, its algebraic operator structure is analyzed and a new successive approximation technique for the calculation of eigenstates and eigenvalues of an arbitrary quantum-mechanical system is developed. Unlike most perturbative techniques, in the present case each order of the approximation determines its own effective (approximating) Hamiltonian ensuring self-consistency and formal exactness of all results in the corresponding approximation order.
