| Polymeric systems pose a formidable challenge to computational physicists: the length scales are usually large, and the time scales long. Moreover, polymeric systems are often in out-of-equilibrium states, so that methods are ruled out which achieve equilibration via unphysical moves. In this talk, I will discuss two different approaches to study the long-time dynamics of polymeric systems, together with some results obtained with these methods: 1) the dynamics of coarse-grained polymer models, which is applied to the study of melts and translocation; 2) the dynamics of semiflexible polymers, which is accelerated exploiting knowledge of the dynamical eigenmodes. |
