We present an algorithmic method for the digital quantum simulation of
many-body locally-indivisible non-Markovian open quantum systems. It consists
of two parts: Firstly, a Suzuki-Lie-Trotter decomposition of the k-local
global system propagator into the product of strictly k-local propagators,
which may not be quantum channels, and secondly, an algorithmic procedure for
the implementation of the strictly k-local propagators through unitary
operations and measurements on a dilated space. By providing rigorous error
bounds for the relevant Suzuki-Lie-Trotter decomposition, we are able to
analyse the efficiency of the method, and connect it with an appropriate
measure of the local indivisibility of the system. In light of our analysis,
the proposed method is expected to be experimentally achievable for a variety
of interesting cases.
