The challenges and problems involved in simulating condensed-phase dynamics, particularly for systems involving cleavage and formation of chemical bonds, are substantial. The authors describe two methods for simulating protonated liquid water and condensed-phase reaction dynamics, in which the commonly used multi-atom empirical force fields are inadequate.
