Simulating Rare Events with Transition Path Sampling
Abstract: Many interesting processes occurring in condensed matter systems are characterized by the presence of widely different time scales complicating the study of such processes with computer simulations. Transition path sampling is a computational methodology to overcome this problem. Based upon a statistical mechanics of trajectory space, it provides a perspective with which time dependent phenomena can be examined with the same types of importance sampling tools that have in the past been applied to static equilibrium properties.In this seminar I will review the concepts and methods of transition path sampling and illustrate them with several examples.| Zeit: | Freitag, 13.
