This technique, of a classical origin (Ref. 1) is widely used in order to simulate systems with long range interactions (typically, electrostatic interactions). Its aim is the computation of the interaction of a system with periodic boundary conditions with all its replicas. This is accomplished by the introduction of fictitious "charge clouds" that shield the charges. The interaction is then divided into a shielded part, which may be evaluated by the usual means, and a part that cancels the introduction of the clouds, which is evaluated in Fourier space.
