论文摘要
我们概述了多年来开发的不同类型的计算技术，用于研究超冷液体，玻璃材料和玻璃过渡的物理。我们将这些数值策略组织成四个广泛的家庭。对于他们每个人，我们都在不讨论任何技术细节的情况下描述了一般思想。我们总结了任何给定方法可以解决的问题类型，并概述已获得的主要结果。最后，我们描述了玻璃系统未来计算研究的两个重要方向。
We provide an overview of the different types of computational techniques developed over the years to study supercooled liquids, glassy materials and the physics of the glass transition. We organise these numerical strategies into four broad families. For each of them, we describe the general ideas without discussing any technical details. We summarise the type of questions which can be addressed by any given approach and outline the main results which have been obtained. Finally we describe two important directions for future computational studies of glassy systems.
