  2. Introduction Free energy Thermodynamic integration Adaptive biasing techniques Motivation The aim of molecular dynamics simulations is to understand the relationships between the macroscopic properties of a molecular system and its atomistic features. In particular, one would like to evaluate numerically macroscopic quantities from models at the microscopic scale. Many applications in various fields: biology, physics, chemistry, materials science. Various models: discrete state space (kinetic Monte Carlo, Markov State Model) or continuous state space (Langevin). The basic ingredient: a potential V which associates to a configuration ( x 1 , ..., x N ) = x ∈ R 3 N atom an energy V ( x 1 , ..., x N atom ) . The dimension d = 3 N atom is large (a few hundred thousand to millions).
