Advanced methods for studying rare biomolecular transitions: integrating physics modeling, AI, and quantum computers

Pietro Faccioli

In this course, I will outline the foundation and main challenge of modern approaches to simulating conformational dynamics of macromolecules. After a short introduction to the use of path integral based methods in stochastic dynamics and the notion of systematic (i.e. RG based) low-energy effective theories, I discuss how these methods can be used to integrate two contemporary and foreseen disruptive computational paradigms (machine learning and quantum computing) to help overcome the existing limitations.
