The hierarchy of pure states
(HOPS~\cite{Hartmann2017Dec,Diosi1998Mar}) is a general purpose
stochastic numerical framework for the exact simulation of
non-Markovian strongly coupled open systems. Without modification of
the core method, it is possible to calculate the interaction energy
and the bath energy change. This is due to HOPS' foundation on the
global dynamics of the system and the bath in contrast to
master-equation methods. We extended the result in \refcite{Kato2016Dec}
for the Hierarchical Equations Of Motion method to arbitrary
modulations of system and coupling inheriting all the advantages of
the HOPS method.

We present the basic theory and its application to simple driven
spin-boson like systems, as well as a comparison with an exact
solution for a quantum Brownian motion like model.
