چکیده
We review the history of the parallel tempering simulation method. From its origins in data analysis, the parallel tempering method has become a standard workhorse of physiochemical simulations. We discuss the theory behind the method and its various generalizations. We mention a selected set of the many applications that have become possible with the introduction of parallel tempering and we suggest several promising avenues for future research.

The operation and parameters of Bunch Shape Monitors using coherent transformation of time structure of an analyzed beam into a spatial one of low energy secondary electrons emitted from a wire target is influenced by the characteristics of a beam under study. The electromagnetic field of a bunch disturbs the trajectories of secondary electrons, thus resulting in a degradation of phase resoluti...

The sign of the refractive index of any medium is soley determined by the requirement that the propagation of an electromagnetic wave obeys Einstein causality. Our analysis shows that this requirement predicts that the real part of the refractive index may be negative in an isotropic medium even if the electric permittivity and the magnetic permeability are both positive. Such a system may be a...

We study the stable marriage problem from different points of view. We proposed a microscopic dynamic that lead the system to a stationary state that we are able to characterize analytically. Then, we derive a thermodynamical description of the Nash equilibrium states of the system that agree very well with the results of Monte Carlo simulations. Finally, through large scale numerical simulatio...

We present a method to filter a distribution so that it is confined within a sphere of given radius rc and, simultaneously, whose Fourier transform is optimally confined within a sphere of radius kc. Our procedure may have several applications in the field of electronic structure methods, like the generation of optimized pseudopotentials and localized pseudocore charge distributions. As an exam...
