Abstract
Constant uncertainty molecular dynamics (CUMD), which was developed to include nuclear quantum effects (NQEs) in molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, is extended to three-dimensional condensed-phase systems. Its applicability was verified via CUMD simulations of bulk water and ice Ih with the q-TIP4P/F potential model. The simulated radial distribution functions, proton momentum distributions, and infrared spectra were compared with those of previous studies in which the simulations were carried out on the basis of the imaginary-time path-integral formalism. We found that CUMD can function as an alternative trajectory-based simulation method for including static and dynamic NQEs in MD simulations of three-dimensional condensed-phase systems.

Abstract
An extension to the wave packet description of quantum plasmas is presented, where the wave packet can be elongated in arbitrary directions. A generalized Ewald summation is constructed for the wave packet models accounting for long-range Coulomb interactions and fermionic effects are approximated by purpose-built Pauli potentials, self-consistent with the wave packets used. We demonstrate its numerical implementation with good parallel support and close to linear scaling in particle number, used for comparisons with the more common wave packet employing isotropic states. Ground state and thermal properties are compared between the models with differences occurring primarily in the electronic subsystem. Especially, the electrical conductivity of dense hydrogen is investigated where a 15% increase in DC conductivity can be seen in our wave packet model compared with other models. This article is part of the theme issue 'Dynamic and transient processes in warm dense matter'.

Abstract
We introduce a theory of chemical bond with a corpuscular picture of electrons. It employs a minimal set of localized electron wave packets with "floating and breathing" degrees of freedom and the spin-coupling of non-orthogonal valence-bond theory. Its accuracy for describing potential energy curves of chemical bonds in ground and excited states of spin singlet and triplet is examined.

Abstract
We have used a generalised coherent state resolution of the identity to map the quantum canonical statistical average for a general system onto a phase-space average over the centre and width parameters of a thawed Gaussian wave packet. We also propose an artificial phase-space density that has the same behaviour as the canonical phase-space density in the low-temperature limit, and have constructed a novel Nosé-Hoover looped chain thermostat that generates this density in conjunction with variational thawed Gaussian wave-packet dynamics. This forms a new platform for evaluating statistical properties of quantum condensed-phase systems that has an explicit connection to the time-dependent Schrödinger equation, whilst retaining many of the appealing features of path-integral molecular dynamics.
