Abstract: We provide a detailed analysis of the quantum diffusive Stochastic Master Equation~(SME) for qubit/cavity systems with dispersive coupling, incorporating classical input signals and output signals (measurement outcomes via homodyne/heterodyne detection). We show that the dynamics of the qubit/cavity density operator converges exponentially towards a slow invariant manifold. This manifold is parameterized by the density operator of a \emph{fictitious} qubit governed by a quantum SME that incorporates the classical input/output signals while preserving complete positivity and trace. The reduced cavity (resp.\ qubit) operator, obtained by partial trace over the qubit (resp.\ cavity), is then expressed as a time-varying deterministic quantum channel acting on the fictitious-qubit density operator. This formulation avoids the non-Markovian descriptions---with temporarily negative dephasing rates or detection efficiencies exceeding one---that appear in several publications. Extensions are considered in which the qubit is replaced by a qudit dispersively coupled to an arbitrary set of cavity modes driven by collective classical input/output signals.
