First Year PhD Report

Constant-uncertainty molecular dynamics (CUMD) has been proposed as a “simple and efficient” method in which quantum effects can be incorporated into classical molecular dynamics simulations. The method has been shown to give better results than ring-polymer molecular dynamics (RPMD) for one-dimensional test systems. In this talk I analyse the method, discuss the problems that arise from it and consider the potential use of the first step of the method (momenta rescaling of RPMD beads).
