Equation of State Calculations by Fast Computing Machines
"Equation of State Calculations by Fast Computing Machines" is a scholarly article published by Nicholas Metropolis, Arianna W. Rosenbluth, Marshall N. Rosenbluth, Augusta H. Teller, and Edward Teller in the Journal of Chemical Physics in 1953. This paper proposed what became known as the Metropolis Monte Carlo algorithm, later generalized as the Metropolis–Hastings algorithm, which forms the basis for Monte Carlo statistical mechanics simulations of atomic and molecular systems.
