Summary of findings. SHO = single harmonic oscillator.
| Case | S 1 | S 2 | S 3 | Findings |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A 1 | SHO | HH thermostat | NH thermostat | For all coupling strengths in case A: |
| A 2 | C1,2 thermostat | 1. TK and TC of S1, S2 and S3 are in agreement with each other. | ||
| 2. Momentum distribution follows a standard normal distribution | ||||
| B 1 | SHO | HH thermostat | Log thermostat | At low to moderate coupling strengths: |
| 1. TK and TC of S1, S2 and S3 are different from each other | ||||
| B 2 | C1,2 thermostat | 2. Momentum distribution of S3 is not standard normal. | ||
| At larger coupling strengths, Gibbs’ canonical sampling is lost. | ||||
| C 1 | SHO | Log thermostat | Log thermostat | Momentum distribution is not standard normal and temperature control fails |
