Abstract

We present a framework for exploratory reactive molecular dynamics (MD) that preserves the potential energy surface and canonical bath while selectively increasing the frequency of well-oriented encounters. Sparse, event-synchronized momentum impulses are applied under a Nosé–Hoover chain (NHC) thermostat so that the mean temperature is unchanged and the potential is unmodified. We derive a BAOAB–J operator splitting and a closed-form path weight \(w=\exp (-\beta W_{\textrm{ext}})\) w = exp ( - β W ext ) for recovery of canonical statistics via reweighting. The reweighting formula is validated on the H + H \(_2\) 2 exchange reaction (LEPS potential), where a parameter sweep demonstrates convergence to unbiased reaction probabilities. Equilibrium properties are verified on liquid Ar (Lennard–Jones), and scalability is demonstrated on a 13,000-atom ethylene–sulfuric acid system using a GPU-accelerated machine learning potential.
