12 Molecular dynamic: the basic loop 1. Assign initial R (positions) and p (momenta) 2. Evolve (numerically) Newton's equations of motion for a discrete time increment (requires evaluation of the forces)

16 Molecular dynamic: thermodynamic ensembles Microcanonical (NVE) ensemble: Number of particles, Volume, and total Energy are conserved Natural ensemble to simulate MD (follows directly from Hamilton's equations of motion Canonical (NVT) ensemble: Number of particles, Volume, and Temperature are conserved System in contact with a heat bath NPT, NPH ensembles (H: enthalpy) for studying phase transitions Grand canonical (μvt) (μ: chemical potential) for adsorption/desorption Computer experiment : equilibrate the system and measure

17 Numerical integration This is an N body problem, which can only be solved numerically (except in very special cases) at least in principle. One (always) starts from a Taylor expansion: Naïve implementation: truncation of Taylor expansion Wrong! The naive forward Euler algorithm is not time reversible does not conserve volume in phase space suffers from energy drift Better approach: Verlet algorithm

18 Verlet algorithm compute position in next and previous time steps Or Verlet algorithm: is time reversible does conserve volume in phase space, i.e., it is symplectic (conservation of action element ) does not suffer from energy drift...but is it a good algorithm? i.e. does it predict the time evolution of the system correctly???

19 Chaos Molecular chaos Dynamics of well behaved classical many body system is chaotic. Consequence: Trajectories that differ very slightly in their initial conditions diverge exponentially ( Lyapunov instability )

20 Chaos Why should anyone believe in Molecular Dynamics simulations???

21 Chaos Why should anyone believe in Molecular Dynamics simulations??? Answers: 1. Good MD algorithms (e.g. Verlet) can also be considered as good (NVE!) Monte Carlo algorithm they therefore yield reliable STATIC properties ( Hybrid Monte Carlo ) 2. What is the point of simulating dynamics, if we cannot trust the resulting time evolution??? 3. All is well (probably), because of... The Shadow Theorem.

22 Shadow trajectory Shadow theorem (hypothesis) For any realistic many body system, the shadow theorem is merely a hypothesis. It basically states that good algorithms generate numerical trajectories that are close to a REAL trajectory of the many body system. Question: Does the Verlet algorithm indeed generate shadow trajectories? In practice, it follows an Hamiltonian, depending on the timestep, which is close to the real Hamiltonian, in the sense that for, converges to Take a different look at the problem. Do not discretize NEWTON's equation of motion...but discretize the ACTION

23 Shadow trajectory Lagrangian Classical mechanics Newton: Lagrange (variational formulation of classical mechanics): Consider a system that is at a point r0 at time 0 and at point rt at time t, then the system follows a trajectory r(t) such that: is an extremum.

24 Shadow trajectory Discretized action For a one dimensional system this becomes

25 Shadow trajectory Minimize the action Now do the standard thing: Find the extremum for small variations in the path, i.e. for small variations in all xi. This will generate a discretized trajectory that starts at time t0 at X0, and ends at time t at Xt.

26 Shadow trajectory which is the Verlet algorithm! The Verlet algorithm generates a trajectory that satisfies the boundary conditions of a REAL trajectory both at the beginning and at the endpoint. Hence, if we are interested in statistical information about the dynamics (e.g. time correlation functions, transport coefficients, power spectra...)...then a good MD algorithm (e.g. Verlet) is fine.

27 First principle (ab initio) Molecular dynamics Same as before but with forces from an ab initio potential V (Hellmann Feynman theorem, Pulay terms, etc.) Possible flavors: Born Oppenhemier MD (electrons always in the ground state) Car Parrinello MD Beyond Born Oppenhemier (Ehrenfest, Surface hopping) Reachable time scale (Born Oppenhemier): tens of picoseconds to few nanoseconds

28 (Ab initio) MD in practice, tuning (some) parameters 1. Read initial R(t0) and p(t0) 2. Converge electronic structure va a self consistent cycle 3. Calculate forces. 4. Integrate the equations of motion to evolve R(t) and p(t) 5. Determine R(t+Δt) and p(t+δt) and GOTO 2.

35 Avoiding scf: the Car Parrinello MD Extended Lagrangian: add (fictitious) degrees of freedom for the electrons (KS orbitals) in the Lagrangian and solve couples equations of motion Adiabatic separation: electron mass needs to be very small small time step (1/50 fs) Electrons follow nuclei: No self consistency needed (at each step)

65 Path integral molecular dynamics the adiabatic separation of electrons and nuclei where the electrons are kept in their ground state without any coupling to electronically excited states (Born Oppenheimer or clamped nuclei approximation), using a particular approximate electronic structure theory in order to calculate the interactions, approximating the continuous path integral for the nuclei by a finite discretization (Trotter factorization) and neglecting the indistinguishability of identical nuclei (Boltzmann statistics)

66 Path integral molecular dynamics Time dependent Schrödinger equation Probability All paths contribute: An interesting isomorphism (the famous imaginary time propagation)

71 What about dynamical observables? Path Integral MD uses ring polymer trajectories to estimate static averages of the form: However, many important quantities are given by dynamic averages: PIMD does NOT give access to real time propagation (momenta are fictitious)

72 What about dynamical observables? PIMD does NOT give access to real time propagation. However, by normal mode transformation of free ring polymer modes: Ring polymer molecular dynamics (RPMD) [1] Masses of the beads are the real masses Problem: beads frequencies resonate with physical frequencies Centroid MD (CMD) [2] Centroid moves in the effective potential generated by the internal modes of the ring Beads have small masses: need for a special thermostat Problem: curvature problem
