A Feynman Path Centroid Effective Potential Approach for the Study of Low Temperature Parahydrogen Clusters and Droplets

The quantum simulation of large molecular systems is a formidable task. We explore the use of effective potentials based on the Feynman path centroid variable in order to simulate large quantum clusters at a reduced computational cost. This centroid can be viewed as the “most” classical variable of...
