Lecture

Ring Polymer Molecular Dynamics

Description

This lecture introduces the concept of Ring Polymer Molecular Dynamics (RPMD) and its application in studying quantum statistics and classical mechanics. The instructor discusses the isomorphism between quantum theory and classical statistical mechanics, showcasing real-time correlation functions from RPMD. The lecture also covers the efficiency of RPMD in exploring chemical reaction rates and condensed phase problems like diffusion in liquid para-hydrogen.
