3 Simulation basics ewton's second law of motion d p F= dt positions ri t 0 velocities vi t 0 + initial conditions full description of the physical system (Molecular dynamics simulations) Sir Isaac ewton ( ) L. Boltzmann (1887): A trajectory should pass every point in phase space, which is consistent with external constraints. Ergodic hypothesis A= A time average = statistical average (Monte Carlo simulations) Ludwig Boltzmann ( )
4 Monte-Carlo method In general, every method that utilizes random numbers like the randomness in the games in the Casino used for e.g. calculation of calculation of integrals Points inside 1 = Points total 4 with Picture of the Casino in Monte-Carlo r=1 Volume of a sphere in M dimensions M Quadr.

6 Monte-Carlo integration in statistical physics consider a canonical [,V,T] ensemble observables in thermodynamics: 1 A, V, T =... A exp U d V V Z,V,T where ={r1, r2,..., r } particle coordinates potential energy of all interacting particles U inverse temperature =1/k B T and the partition function 1 Z, V,T =... V exp U d D V! with and =2 ℏ2 / mk B T 1/ 2 D dimensionality Equilibrium distribution of states is given by the Boltzmann factor exp U pb = Z,V, T
7 Metropolis algorithm - 1 How to create independent microstates from initial state i A? Markov chain 0 i, i 1 i, i 1 to ensure that the states A i some restrictions on are distributed according to the equilibrium probability of states p B generate all further states with some transition probability The condition i i, i 1 = p i 1 i 1, i p applied to the stationary solution dp / dt =0 detailed balance of Master equation i dp i, i 1 p i i 1, i p i 1 = dt i 1 i 1 guarantees that one correctly generates the Markov chain with states distributed by p B
8 Metropolis algorithm - 2 How to choose the transition probability. Metropolis[1]: i, i 1? { exp U, if U 0 i, i 1 = 1, otherwise the calculation of the observables reduces from A exp U d icholas Constantine Metropolis ( ) [1]. Metropolis, A.

17 Summary When/Why should one (not) use Monte-Carlo? It is easy to implement to run a fast code to access equilibrium properties downside no non-equilibrium properties no time dynamics but Dynamic Monte Carlo Kinetic Monte Carlo requirements good pseudo-random-number generator, e.g. Mersenne Twister (period of ) good error estimation further details and more examples at posters Yukawa tubes (done by K. Tierney, Boston College during stay in the ISE program of the DAAD) Yukawa balls
