Fluctuation-Dissipation (Langevin) Theorem: The equilibrium is brought about by a dissipation force (“friction”) between the particle and the bath. It is the same process that produces the random, fluctuating force on the particle. Both processes are uniquely determined by the statistical nature of the microscopic forces .

Conclusions
• QLMD can do simulations from warm dense matter to hot dense plasmas.
• EOS, transport properties can be shown within the framework of QLMD.
• Principal Hugoniot of Iron is calculated from first principles up to 100 eV. The results are in agreement with SESAME table and most experiments, and more consistent with experiments than SESAME at high temperature.
• The basic idea of Langevin equation provide the flexibility of cutting the system (or degree of freedom) from the environment and reduce the complexity to be manageable.
• Reliability of the results depends on a adequate fluctuation-dissipation model.
