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
