✦ Synopsis


We propose a path integral centroid molecular dynamics (CMD) method extended to Bose and Fermi statistics.

An extended method of path integral molecular dynamics (PIMD) for such statistics is also developed as a technique of calculations of static properties. Bose PIMD and CMD simulations have been performed for bulk liquid 4He and ideal Bose gas, respectively.

The remnant of I\ transition is observed for bulk liquid 4He, while the effect of Bose statistics on the centroid dynamics spanning several nanoseconds is observed for ideal Bose gas.
