报告摘要:
  In this talk, I will brief our very recent advances toward developing efficient and accurate methods to treat long-ranged electrostatics in computer simulations [1-3]. I will show that the “de facto” standard Ewald type methods with the tin-foil boundary condition in general introduce artifacts that may often suggest seemingly interesting but in fact very misleading structural and thermodynamical properties [4-5]. In contrast, by introducing the symmetry-preserving operator and the well-defined infinite boundary terms, we are able to solve the conceptually and computationally vexing problem of boundary conditions [2-3]. I will detail how this advance might influence the way that computer simulations are carried out.
