Lecture

Path Integrals and Metadynamics

Description

This lecture covers the concepts of path integrals and metadynamics, focusing on discretized path integral methods for quantum mechanical calculations and the application of metadynamics in enhancing fluctuations of collective variables. It also discusses the use of quantum effects to sample classical distributions and the challenges posed by exchange effects in simulations. The instructor presents examples such as the study of an electron solvated in molten KCl and the behavior of quantum dots in artificial structures.
