[CP2K-user] [CP2K:12019] PIMD with CP2K

Dear Thomas,

Thank you for the kind reply, it helps a lot. I still have some questions:

I use 4 beads to test h2o molecule, is it means  the trajectory is
represented by the average replica positions of each atom, in the current
case, is the all the atom positions of these four H2O-pos-?-1.xyz file?

Anther question is if I want to run MD simulations to see the quantum
effects, for example, H2 and D2 diffusion in the metal surface, is it
possible that cp2k combines PINT and metadynamics? Because the RUN_TYPE
section to me is like either one can choose MD to perform normal MD or PINT
to run PIMD, but not both at one calculations. So in such case, how should
I consider quantum effects?

Thank you again for your help.

Best regards,
Yun
