“…Thus, a better understanding of WDM can solve crucial problems at the intersection of several disciplines [2,3]. The most important application of WDM research is the modelling and design of processes in inertial confinement fusion [4][5][6][7][8][9]; additionally, WDM simulations enhance our understanding of the earth's inner core [10,11]; various astrophysical phenomena [12,13] (including properties of exoplanets [14,15], giant gas planets [16][17][18][19] and brown and white dwarfs [20,21]); and unexplored material properties such as novel chemistry [22,23], non-equilibrium effects [24,25], phase transitions [26] and mechanical properties of solids [27]. Furthermore, accurate theoretical modelling of WDM is important in processing and understanding data from large experimental facilities [3,[28][29][30][31][32].…”
