Ceci n'est pas un committor, yet it samples like one: efficient sampling via approximated committor functions

Enrico Trizio, Giorgia Rossi, Michele Parrinello

Atomistic simulations are widely used to investigate reactive processes but are often limited by the rare event problem due to kinetic bottlenecks. We recently introduced an enhanc…

The seeds of the future are in the present: A blind exploration of metastable states

Timothée Devergne, Vladimir Kostic, Massimiliano Pontil +1

In this work, we present a novel type of molecular dynamics simulation that aims at discovering, in a blind way, new metastable states. Using only data coming from an initial unbia…

The role of fluctuations in the nucleation process

Yuanpeng Deng, Peilin Kang, Xiang Xu +2

The emergence upon cooling of an ordered solid phase from a liquid is a remarkable example of self-assembly, which has also major practical relevance. Here, we use a recently devel…
