Electrical transport in Josephson junction arrays in the Coulomb-blockade regime has been studied using several different theoretical models. Frequently used models include the sine-Gordon equation for the charge on the capacitances in the array and kinetic Monte-Carlo simulations of the incoherent tunneling of the charge-carrier through the array. These models either include coherent Cooper pair tunneling or microscopic dissipation but not both. Simulations of the full quantum-mechanical system including decoherence are problematic due to the unfavourable scaling of standard master-equations with system size. We use a stochastic unraveling of the Bloch-Redfield equation analogous to the established quantum jump unravelling of the Lindblad equation to obtain the time-evolution of a Josephson junction array coupled to a solid-state environment.
