I understand ... may be I was deceived by another ab inito code (without citing the name) where they specify "conjugate gradient" as a type of run of the molecular dynamics !!!? Thanks a lot Y.P

However, the CG method is used to find the minimum interaction energy and kinetic energy makes no sense in CG method.

Dear QE developers and users; I'm using QE-4.3.2 and I wanna do Molecular Dynamics calculations, with Conjugate Gradient scheme... When looking to PWscf documentation (INPUT_PW) I find only the "verlet" and "langevin" algorithm for "calculation=md" !! I wanna be sure if the conjugate gradient is included (possible) or not?
