| '''Hybrid Monte Carlo''' <ref>[http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0370-2693(87)91197-X Simon Duane, A. D. Kennedy, Brian J. Pendleton and Duncan Roweth "Hybrid Monte Carlo", Physics Letters B '''195''' pp. 216-222 (1987)]</ref> was originally developed to study problems in lattice field theory. | | '''Hybrid Monte Carlo''' |
| Hybrid Monte Carlo combines the [[molecular dynamics]] technique, one of whose virtues is that one can move all of the particles in the system
| |
| in one go (i.e. one [[time step]]) with an [[acceptance probability]] of 1, with the [[Monte Carlo]] technique. By doing this one can use a "dangerously" large time step, which would be potentially be unstable in a pure molecular dynamics simulation, followed by a [[Metropolis Monte Carlo | Metropolis]] type check that accepts or rejects the final configuration of the molecular dynamics trajectory.
