Purpose of the Study:

  • To review theoretical and practical contributions to mean-field MD techniques.
  • To provide new insights into the approximations within existing methods like locally enhanced sampling (LES).
  • To explore the foundation of novel approaches such as ensembles eXtracted from atomic coordinate transformations (EXACT).

Main Methods:

  • Review of theoretical frameworks, including the time-dependent Hartree technique.
  • Analysis of locally enhanced sampling (LES) methodology.
