Torsional path integral Monte Carlo method for the quantum simulation of large molecules
A molecular application is introduced for calculating quantum statistical mechanical expectation values of large molecules at nonzero temperatures. The Torsional Path Integral Monte Carlo ~TPIMC! technique applies an uncoupled winding number formalism to the torsional degrees of freedom in molecular systems. The internal energy of the molecules ethane, n-butane, n-octane, and enkephalin are cal...
متن کاملTorsional path integral Monte Carlo method for calculating the absolute quantum free energy of large molecules
A new technique for evaluating the absolute free energy of large molecules is presented. Quantum-mechanical contributions to the intramolecular torsions are included via the torsional path integral Monte Carlo ~TPIMC! technique. Importance sampling schemes based on uncoupled free rotors and harmonic oscillators facilitate the use of the TPIMC technique for the direct evaluation of quantum parti...
متن کاملPath integral Monte Carlo study of quantum-hard sphere solids.
A path integral study of the fcc, hcp, and bcc quantum hard-sphere solids is presented. Ranges of densities within the interval of reduced de Broglie wavelengths 0.2≤λB(*)≤0.8 have been analyzed using Monte Carlo simulations with Cao-Berne propagator. Energies, pressures, and structural quantities (pair radial correlation functions, centroid structure factors, and Steinhardt order parameters) h...
متن کاملGlobal Optimization: Quantum Thermal Annealing with Path Integral Monte Carlo
We investigate a new method (QTA-PIMC) for global optimization on complex potential energy surfaces which combines the path integral Monte Carlo method with quantum and thermal annealing. This method is applied to the BLN protein model (Honeycutt, J. D.; Thirumalai, D. Biopolymers 1992, 32, 695). We show that this new approach outperforms simulated (thermal) annealing (SA) and that in fact SA i...
متن کاملPermutation sampling in Path Integral Monte Carlo
Abstract A simple algorithm is described to sample permutations of identical particles in Path Integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) simulations of continuum many-body systems. The sampling strategy illustrated here is fairly general, and can be easily incorporated in any PIMC implementation based on the staging algorithm. Although it is similar in spirit to an existing prescription, it differs from it i...
