Calculating Thermodynamics Properties of Quantum Systems by a non-Markovian Monte Carlo Procedure

Yanier Crespo, Alessandro Laio, Giuseppe E. Santoro +1

We present a history-dependent Monte Carlo scheme for the efficient calculation of the free-energy of quantum systems, inspired by the Wang-Landau sampling and metadynamics method.…

Dynamical chiral symmetry breaking in sliding nanotubes

X. H. Zhang, G. E. Santoro, U. Tartaglino +1

We discovered in simulations of sliding coaxial nanotubes an unanticipated example of dynamical symmetry breaking taking place at the nanoscale. While both nanotubes are perfectly…
