.. note::
Temperature computation using the :doc:`compute temp <compute_temp>`
will not correctly compute temperature of these overdamped dynamics
since we are explicitly neglecting inertial effects.
See e.g. chapter 6 of :ref:`(Doi) <Doi1>` for more details on this.
Temperature is instead defined in terms of the note above (for
equilibrium systems).
