Monte Carlo Tutorial

The hoomd-mc crate implements Monte Carlo simulations.

In a Monte Carlo (MC) simulation, you chose the Hamiltonian ($H$) and what types of trial moves to propose. hoomd-rs will:

1. Propose random trial moves that change the microstate: $S\to S^{\prime }$.
2. Compute the change in energy made by each trial move: $\Delta E=H(S^{\prime })-H(S)$.
3. Then accept or reject the trial move based on criteria specific to that trial move.

For each of these steps, you can use built-in types provided by hoomd-mc or write your own. Read the following tutorials to learn how to run and customize MC simulations using hoomd-rs.
