Physical Chemistry I
Metadynamics is a computational technique used in molecular dynamics simulations to explore free energy landscapes by overcoming energy barriers and sampling rare events. It works by adding a time-dependent bias potential to the system, which helps in filling the free energy wells and allows for the efficient exploration of high-dimensional energy surfaces. This approach is particularly useful for studying processes like conformational changes, chemical reactions, and phase transitions in complex systems.
congrats on reading the definition of metadynamics. now let's actually learn it.
