Molecular dynamic computer simulations are used to investigate strongly coupled plasmas. We present some aspects of the simulation technique and some results concerning the stopping power of heavy ions in electron plasmas and the three‐body recombination in two‐component plasmas. Furthermore we briefly discuss the developement of a wave‐packet simulation technique to account for quantum corrections.
