Stability and structure of quark matter in a molecular dynamics   framework
  We study stability and structure of quark matters as a function of density in a framework of molecular dynamics (MD). Using appropriate effective interactions and the frictional cooling method, we search for the minimum energy of the system. Transition from confined to deconfined phase is observed at densities of 2 -- 3$\rho_0$, where $\rho_0$ is the nuclear matter saturation density. The $uds$ matter becomes more stable than the charge-neutral $ud$ matter at 3$\rho_0$, but the $udd$ matter is the most stable even at high density.
