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.
