Implementing the Particle Mesh Ewald method

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the implementation of the Particle Mesh Ewald (PME) method for molecular dynamics simulations, highlighting its O(n log(n)) complexity advantage over the traditional O(n^2) approach. The original papers on PME are noted to be dense and challenging for translating the mathematical concepts into code. The user seeks simple implementations or pseudocode examples, as well as resources that clearly explain the algorithm. They are also looking for guidance on where to find further assistance or knowledgeable individuals in this area.

I'm currently attempting to implement the "Particle mesh ewald" method for a molecular dynamics simulation. It has the advantage of having an algorithmic complexity of O(n log(n)), compared to a normal O(n^2) complexity for a regular approach.

I've been reading through the original papers for this ( http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.464397 ) But I am finding it to be quite dense, and it's difficult to translate the mathematics into actual code.

I'm wondering if anybody knows of a simple implementation that I could have a look at, even pseudocode would be helpful. If that doesn't exist, any resource explaning the actual algorithm clearly, or an explanation from yourself if you understand it, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'
I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.
