Irreversible Monte Carlo methods for particle simulations

By Anthony Maggs

The two workhorses of molecular simulation are molecular dynamics and Markov-chain Monte Carlo. In this talk we compare them with an alternative: 'Event chain Monte Carlo' in which detailed balance is replaced by the weaker balance condition. We characterise the large scale dynamics of each method pointing out where event chains can give rise to more efficient or more accurate calculations. By optimising the splitting of interactions in event chain methods we show (in hard sphere systems) that we are able to further accelerate the sampling of density modes.
