摘要
Combined quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) methods have been widely used in multi-scale modelling and simulations of physical, chemical and biological processes in complex environments. In this review, we provide an overview of the recently developed QM/MM algorithms, with emphasis on our works, towards the ultimate goal of establishing an open boundary between the QM and MM subsystems. The open boundary is characterised by on-the-fly exchanges of partial charges and atoms between the QM and MM subsystems, allowing us to focus on the small QM subsystem of primary interest in dynamics simulations. An open-boundary scheme has the promise to the utilisations of small QM subsystems, high-levels of QM theory and long simulation times, which can potentially lead to new insights.
