  Warm dense matter systems created in the laboratory are highly dynamical. In
such cases electron dynamics is often needed to accurately simulate the
evolution and properties of the system. Large systems force one to make simple
approximations enabling computationally feasibility. Wave packet molecular
dynamics (WPMD) provides a simple framework for simulating time-dependent
quantum plasmas. Here, this method is reviewed. The different variants of WPMD
are shown and compared and their validity is discussed.
