Metropolis and colleagues: sampling by accepted and rejected moves

Contribution grade

Monte Carlo methods · Scoped scientific or research-capability contribution

Reference score160,000Provisional editorial estimate of this exact contribution; its grade is assessed separately.

What changed

Constructed configuration-space samples using symmetric trial moves and energy-based acceptance, counting retained states after rejected moves, with a two-dimensional rigid-sphere calculation on MANIAC.

Scientific scope

Constructed configuration-space samples using symmetric trial moves and energy-based acceptance, counting retained states after rejected moves, with a two-dimensional rigid-sphere calculation on MANIAC. Scope limitation: All five paper authors are preserved. The method is not an LLM achievement. The paper explicitly does not specify the speed of approach to equilibrium; stationarity and an acceptance rule alone are not a practical burn-in certificate.

Evidence
