Abstract
We derived quantum trajectories for a system interacting with the environment prepared in a continuous mode single-photon state as the limit of a discrete filtering model with an environment defined as a series of independent qubits prepared initially in the entangled state being an analog of a continuous mode state. The environment qubits interact with the quantum system and they are subsequently measured. The initial correlation between the bath qubits is the source of the non-Markovianity. The conditional evolutions of the quantum system for the limit of the continuous in time observations together with the formulas for the photon counting probabilities are given.
