def mesolve(H, rho0, tlist, c_ops, e_ops, args={}, options=None, progress_bar=BaseProgressBar()):
    """
    Master equation evolution of a density matrix for a given Hamiltonian.

    Evolve the state vector or density matrix (`rho0`) using a given
    Hamiltonian (`H`) and an [optional] set of collapse operators
    (`c_op_list`), by integrating the set of ordinary differential equations
    that define the system. In the absence of collapse operators the system is
    evolved according to the unitary evolution of the Hamiltonian.

    The output is either the state vector at arbitrary points in time
    (`tlist`), or the expectation values of the supplied operators
    (`e_ops`). If e_ops is a callback function, it is invoked for each
    time in `tlist` with time and the state as arguments, and the function
    does not use any return values.

    **Time-dependent operators**

    For problems with time-dependent problems `H` and `c_ops` can be callback
    functions that takes two arguments, time and `args`, and returns the
    Hamiltonian or Liouvillian for the system at that point in time
    (*callback format*).

    Alternatively, `H` and `c_ops` can be a specified in a nested-list format
    where each element in the list is a list of length 2, containing an
    operator (:class:`qutip.qobj`) at the first element and where the
    second element is either a string (*list string format*), a callback
    function (*list callback format*) that evaluates to the time-dependent
    coefficient for the corresponding operator, or a numpy array (*list
    array format*) which specifies the value of the coefficient to the
    corresponding operator for each value of t in tlist.

    *Examples*

        H = [[H0, 'sin(w*t)'], [H1, 'sin(2*w*t)']]

        H = [[H0, sin(w*tlist)], [H1, sin(2*w*tlist)]]

        H = [[H0, f0_t], [H1, f1_t]]

        where f0_t and f1_t are python functions with signature f_t(t, args).

    In the *list string format* and *list callback format*, the string
    expression and the callback function must evaluate to a real or complex
    number (coefficient for the corresponding operator).

    In all cases of time-dependent operators, `args` is a dictionary of
    parameters that is used when evaluating operators. It is passed to the
    callback functions as second argument

    .. note::

        If an element in the list-specification of the Hamiltonian or
        the list of collapse operators are in super-operator for it will be
        added to the total Liouvillian of the problem with out further
        transformation. This allows for using mesolve for solving master
        equations that are not on standard Lindblad form.

    .. note::

        On using callback function: mesolve transforms all :class:`qutip.qobj`
        objects to sparse matrices before handing the problem to the integrator
        function. In order for your callback function to work correctly, pass
        all :class:`qutip.qobj` objects that are used in constructing the
        Hamiltonian via args. mesolve will check for :class:`qutip.qobj` in
        `args` and handle the conversion to sparse matrices. All other
        :class:`qutip.qobj` objects that are not passed via `args` will be
        passed on to the integrator in scipy which will raise an NotImplemented
        exception.

    *Examples*

        H = [[H0, 'sin(w*t)'], [H1, 'sin(2*w*t)']]

        H = [[H0, f0_t], [H1, f1_t]]

        where f0_t and f1_t are python functions with signature f_t(t, args).

    In the *list string format* and *list callback format*, the string
    expression and the callback function must evaluate to a real or complex
    number (coefficient for the corresponding operator).

    In all cases of time-dependent operators, `args` is a dictionary of

    """
    Master equation evolution of a density matrix for a given Hamiltonian.

    Evolution of a state vector or density matrix (`rho0`) for a given
    Hamiltonian (`H`) and set of collapse operators (`c_op_list`), by
    integrating the set of ordinary differential equations that define the
    system. The output is either the state vector at arbitrary points in time
    (`tlist`), or the expectation values of the supplied operators
    (`e_ops`).

    For problems with time-dependent Hamiltonians, `H` can be a callback
    function that takes two arguments, time and `args`, and returns the
    Hamiltonian at that point in time. `args` is a list of parameters that is
    passed to the callback function `H` (only used for time-dependent
    Hamiltonians).

    Parameters
    ----------

    H : :class:`qutip.qobj`
        system Hamiltonian, or a callback function for time-dependent
        Hamiltonians.

    rho0 : :class:`qutip.qobj`
        initial density matrix or state vector (ket).

    tlist : *list* / *array*
        list of times for :math:`t`.

    c_op_list : list of :class:`qutip.qobj`
        list of collapse operators.

    e_ops : list of :class:`qutip.qobj` / callback function
        list of operators for which to evaluate expectation values.

    args : *dictionary*
        dictionary of parameters for time-dependent Hamiltonians and
        collapse operators.

    options : :class:`qutip.Odeoptions`
        with options for the ODE solver.


    Returns
    -------
    output :array
    Expectation values of wavefunctions/density matrices
    for the times specified by `tlist`.

    Notes
    -----
    On using callback function: odesolve transforms all :class:`qutip.qobj`
    objects to sparse matrices before handing the problem to the integrator
    function. In order for your callback function to work correctly, pass
    all :class:`qutip.qobj` objects that are used in constructing the
    Hamiltonian via args. odesolve will check for :class:`qutip.qobj` in
    `args` and handle the conversion to sparse matrices. All other
    :class:`qutip.qobj` objects that are not passed via `args` will be
    passed on to the integrator to scipy who will raise an NotImplemented
    exception.

    """
    Master equation evolution of a density matrix for a given Hamiltonian and
    set of collapse operators, or a Liouvillian.

    Evolve the state vector or density matrix (`rho0`) using a given
    Hamiltonian (`H`) and an [optional] set of collapse operators
    (`c_ops`), by integrating the set of ordinary differential equations
    that define the system. In the absence of collapse operators the system is
    evolved according to the unitary evolution of the Hamiltonian.

    The output is either the state vector at arbitrary points in time
    (`tlist`), or the expectation values of the supplied operators
    (`e_ops`). If e_ops is a callback function, it is invoked for each
    time in `tlist` with time and the state as arguments, and the function
    does not use any return values.

    If either `H` or the Qobj elements in `c_ops` are superoperators, they
    will be treated as direct contributions to the total system Liouvillian.
    This allows to solve master equations that are not on standard Lindblad
    form by passing a custom Liouvillian in place of either the `H` or `c_ops`
    elements.

    **Time-dependent operators**

    For time-dependent problems, `H` and `c_ops` can be callback
    functions that takes two arguments, time and `args`, and returns the
    Hamiltonian or Liouvillian for the system at that point in time
    (*callback format*).

    Alternatively, `H` and `c_ops` can be a specified in a nested-list format
    where each element in the list is a list of length 2, containing an
    operator (:class:`qutip.qobj`) at the first element and where the
    second element is either a string (*list string format*), a callback
    function (*list callback format*) that evaluates to the time-dependent
    coefficient for the corresponding operator, or a NumPy array (*list
    array format*) which specifies the value of the coefficient to the
    corresponding operator for each value of t in tlist.

    *Examples*

        H = [[H0, 'sin(w*t)'], [H1, 'sin(2*w*t)']]

        H = [[H0, f0_t], [H1, f1_t]]

        where f0_t and f1_t are python functions with signature f_t(t, args).

        H = [[H0, np.sin(w*tlist)], [H1, np.sin(2*w*tlist)]]

    In the *list string format* and *list callback format*, the string
    expression and the callback function must evaluate to a real or complex
    number (coefficient for the corresponding operator).

    In all cases of time-dependent operators, `args` is a dictionary of
    parameters that is used when evaluating operators. It is passed to the
    callback functions as second argument.

    **Additional options**

    Additional options to mesolve can be set via the `options` argument, which
    should be an instance of :class:`qutip.solver.Options`. Many ODE
    integration options can be set this way, and the `store_states` and
    `store_final_state` options can be used to store states even though
    expectation values are requested via the `e_ops` argument.

    .. note::

        If an element in the list-specification of the Hamiltonian or
        the list of collapse operators are in superoperator form it will be
        added to the total Liouvillian of the problem with out further
        transformation. This allows for using mesolve for solving master
        equations that are not on standard Lindblad form.

    .. note::

        On using callback function: mesolve transforms all :class:`qutip.qobj`
        objects to sparse matrices before handing the problem to the integrator
        function. In order for your callback function to work correctly, pass
        all :class:`qutip.qobj` objects that are used in constructing the
        Hamiltonian via args. mesolve will check for :class:`qutip.qobj` in
        `args` and handle the conversion to sparse matrices. All other
        :class:`qutip.qobj` objects that are not passed via `args` will be
        passed on to the integrator in scipy which will raise an NotImplemented
        exception.

    Parameters
