Abstract

The single-ensemble, path sampling approach to calculate free energy difference based on Jarzynski's relation was discussed. The method performs roughly one hundred times faster than either optimized Jarzynski caluclations for a two-dimensional 'toy' test system. It was found that the single-ensemble path sampling (SEPS) method generates δF estimates over 100 × more efficiently than standard Jarzynski and conventional termodynamic integration calculations. The approach relies on an extremely simple importance sampling formalism and therefore appears to be readily extendable to molecular systems.
