We present a method to explore the free energy landscapes of chemical reactions with post-transition-state bifurcations using an enhanced sampling method based on well-tempered metadynamics. Obviating the need for computationally expensive…
Free energies of molecules can be calculated by quantum computations or by normal mode classical calculations. However, the first can be computationally impractical for large molecules and the second is based on the assumption of harmonic…
Free energies play a central role in characterising the behaviour of chemical systems and are among the most important quantities that can be calculated by molecular dynamics simulations. Solvation free energies in various organic solvents,…
Free energy calculations are at the heart of physics-based analyses of biochemical processes. They allow us to quantify molecular recognition mechanisms, which determine a wide range of biological phenomena from how cells send and receive…
Sets of free energy differences are useful for finding the equilibria of chemical reactions, while absolute free energies have little physical meaning. However finding the relative free energy between two macrostates by subtraction of their…
The shift in chemical equilibria due to isotope substitution is often exploited to gain insight into a wide variety of chemical and physical processes. It is a purely quantum mechanical effect, which can be computed exactly using…
Despite the modern level of development of computational chemistry methods and techno-logical progress, fast and accurate determination of solvation free energy remains a huge problem for physical chemists. In this paper, we describe two…
The atmospheric reaction of H$_2$S with Cl has been reinvestigated to check if, as previously suggested, only explicit dynamical computations can lead to an accurate evaluation of the reaction rate because of strong recrossing effects and…
Obtaining the free energies of condensed phase chemical reactions remains computationally prohibitive for high-level quantum mechanical methods. We introduce a hierarchical machine learning framework that bridges this gap by distilling…
Calculating free energy differences is a topic of substantial interest and has many applications including molecular docking and hydration, solvation, and binding free energies which is used in computational drug discovery. However, in…
Binding free energies are a key element in understanding and predicting the strength of protein--drug interactions. While classical free energy simulations yield good results for many purely organic ligands, drugs including transition metal…
We propose a new method to compute the free energy or enthalpy of fluids or disordered solids by computer simulation . The main idea is to construct a reference system by freezing one representative configuration, and then carry out a…
The exact and phaseless variants of Auxiliary-Field Quantum Monte Carlo (AFQMC) have been shown to be capable of producing accurate ground-state energies for a wide variety of systems including those which exhibit substantial electron…
Recent progress in simulation methodologies and in computer power allow first principle simulations of condensed systems with Born-Oppenheimer electronic energies obtained by Quantum Monte Carlo methods. Computing free energies and…
In the molecular dynamics calculations for the free energy of ions and ionic molecules, we often encounter wet charged molecular systems where electrical neutrality condition is broken. This causes a problem in the evaluation of…
We present a history-dependent Monte Carlo scheme for the efficient calculation of the free-energy of quantum systems, inspired by the Wang-Landau sampling and metadynamics method. When embedded in a path integral formulation, it is of…

Alchemical free energy calculations are a useful tool for predicting free energy differences associated with the transfer of molecules from one environment to another. The hallmark of these methods is the use of "bridging" potential energy…
