While the dynamics of polymer chains in equilibrium media is well understood by now, the
polymer dynamics in active non-equilibrium environments can be very different. Here we …

The dominant reaction pathway is a rigorous framework to microscopically compute the most
probable trajectories, in nonequilibrium transitions. In the low-temperature regime, such …

The rate of escape of an ideal bead-spring polymer in a symmetric double-well potential is
calculated using transition state theory (TST) and the results compared with direct dynamical …

Can far-from-equilibrium material response under arbitrary loading be inferred from
equilibrium data and vice versa? Can the effect of element transmutation on mechanical …

We consider the diffusion of Brownian particles in one-dimensional periodic potentials as a
test bench for the recently proposed stochastic path integral hyperdynamics (PIHD) scheme …

Biopolymer looping is a dynamic process that occurs ubiquitously in cells for gene
regulation, protein folding, etc. In cellular environments, biopolymers are often subject to …

The rate of escape of polymers from a two-dimensionally confining potential well has been
evaluated using self-avoiding as well as ideal chain representations of varying length, up to …

Many important processes in materials systems are intrinsically atomistic in nature but
involve time scales that span many orders of magnitude, thus exceeding what can be …

A polymer escaping from a confining external potential represents a generic description of
long macromolecules crossing an energy barrier. This type of barrier crossing problems are …
