The Velocity Verlet algorithm, for use in molecular dynamics, is given by [1]:
![{\displaystyle v\left(t+\delta t\right)=v(t)+{\frac {1}{2}}\delta t[a(t)+a(t+\delta t)]}](https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/37487fb90cb334d0566a9595100c022963cc19bd)
where is the position, is the velocity, is the acceleration and is the time. is known as the time step.
