Linda Elizabeth Reichl (born 1942) [1] is a statistical physicist who works in the Center for Complex Quantum Systems at the University of Texas at Austin, [2] and is known for her research on quantum chaos. [3]
Reichl completed her Ph.D. in 1969 at the University of Denver with the dissertation Microscopic Theory of Quasiparticle Spin Fluctations in a Fermi Liquid. [4] She was advised by Elizabeth R. Tuttle and Ilya Prigogine. [5]
Reichl's books include:
She is also the co-editor of several volumes of collected papers.
Reichl became a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2000 "for her original contributions to the field of quantum chaos". [3]

Path integral molecular dynamics (PIMD) is a method of incorporating quantum mechanics into molecular dynamics simulations using Feynman path integrals. In PIMD, one uses the Born–Oppenheimer approximation to separate the wavefunction into a nuclear part and an electronic part. The nuclei are treated quantum mechanically by mapping each quantum nucleus onto a classical system of several fictitious particles connected by springs governed by an effective Hamiltonian, which is derived from Feynman's path integral. The resulting classical system, although complex, can be solved relatively quickly. There are now a number of commonly used condensed matter computer simulation techniques that make use of the path integral formulation including Centroid Molecular Dynamics (CMD), Ring Polymer Molecular Dynamics (RPMD), and the Feynman-Kleinert Quasi-Classical Wigner (FK-QCW) method. The same techniques are also used in path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC).
