We propose a numerically exact approach to nonequilibrium real-time dynamics that is applicable to quantum impurity models coupled to biased noninteracting leads, such as those relevant to quantum transport in nanoscale devices. The method is based on a diagrammatic Monte Carlo sampling of the real-time perturbation theory along the Keldysh contour. We benchmark the method on a noninteracting resonant-level model and, as a first nontrivial application, we study zero-temperature nonequilibrium transport through a vibrating molecule.
