A Verlet list (named after Loup Verlet) is a data structure in molecular dynamics simulations to efficiently maintain a list of all particles within a given cut-off distance of each other.

This method may easily be applied to Monte Carlo simulations problem.

Using cell lists further reduces the computational cost.
