An efficient integrator scheme for sampling the (quantum) isobaric–isothermal ensemble in (path integral) molecular dynamics simulations

We develop an efficient integrator scheme for sampling the (quantum) isobaric–isothermal ensemble in (path integral) molecular dynamics simulations, extending the middle scheme from the canonical ensemble to the isobaric–isothermal ensemble.

Stationary state distribution and efficiency analysis of the Langevin equation via real or virtual dynamics

We analyze the stationary state distribution and efficiency of the Langevin equation and its variants through real or virtual dynamics, and propose the middle scheme, which enlarges the sampling time step by adjusting the order of the thermostat coupling.
