SUMMARY

CPMD (Car-Parrinello Molecular Dynamics) involves wave function optimization and plane wave cut-off techniques. Wave function optimization refers to solving the Schrödinger equation to determine the ground state energy of a system. The plane wave cut-off is critical as it defines the size of the basis set utilized in calculations, impacting the accuracy and efficiency of simulations.
