Feynman's path integral formulation of quantum statistical mechanics, which has commonly been applied be Monte Carlo methods, is now also implemented by traditional molecular dynamics simulations of the microcanonical ensemble and in the No&-Hoover method simulating the isothermal-isobaric ensemble.
In this work, we develop a method to accelerate molecular dynamics simulations by boosting the kinetic energy of an atom. Preliminary results have been obtained for several 1-D potentials and show very good agreement with direct simulations. Furthermore, the speed-up factors are promising, over 10 2
A survey is given of the computer simulation method of Molecular Dynamics, as applied to complex molecular systems of biological interest. Possibilities and limitations of the method are discussed, with special emphasis on the derivation of free energy from simulations. The prediction of the free en
