Overcoming the timescale barrier in molecular dynamics: Transfer operators, variational principles and machine learning

C Schütte, S Klus, C Hartmann - Acta Numerica, 2023 - cambridge.org
One of the main challenges in molecular dynamics is overcoming the 'timescale barrier': in
many realistic molecular systems, biologically important rare transitions occur on timescales …

Toward Grid-Based Models for Molecular Association
