We review the Random Batch Methods (RBM) for interacting particle systems consisting of N-particles, with N being large. The computational cost of such systems is of O(N2), which is prohibitively expensive. The RBM methods use small but random batches so the computational cost is reduced, per time step, to O(N). In this article we discuss these methods for both classical and quantum systems, the corresponding theory, and applications from molecular dynamics, statistical samplings, to agent-based models for collective behavior, and quantum Monte-Carlo methods.
