## Free energy related method
- Parallel tempering: perform MC or MD simulations at different temperatures, swapping between these temperatures as needed. (High $T$, it's easier to cross the energy barrier)
- Canonical adiabatic free energy sampling: perform an adiabatic dynamics in a subset of the variables at high temp.
- Non-eq methods: Jarzynski's method using finite length (non-adiabatic) measurements of the work needed to go from A to B.
- Transition path sampling: Generate an ensemble of (dynamic) trajectories that all pass via the transition state, going from state A to B.
