Molecular Dynamics
Molecular dynamics is a computational method that simulates the trajectories of atoms and molecules by numerically solving Newton's equations of motion. It is widely used in chemistry, physics and materials science to study thermodynamic and kinetic properties.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Traditional molecular dynamics time stepping relies mainly on neighbor lists and pairwise force calculations, and is memory-access intensive with limited arithmetic intensity.
For MLIP, small deviations in the energy surface will be amplified into trajectory drift in long-time molecular dynamics, so precision layering is a necessity.
The feasibility of the digital twin direction depends on improvements in the accuracy of computational chemistry methods such as density functional theory and molecular dynamics, as well as falling GPU cluster compute costs, and it is currently still limited by systematic deviations between simulation accuracy and real experiments.
Molecular dynamics combined with machine learning potentials is currently a common means of handling finite-temperature property problems, but its computational cost is far higher than single-point property prediction.
In molecular dynamics, the target distribution is usually the Boltzmann distribution, that is, the probability of high-energy configurations decays exponentially.
