Supersymmetric Langevin equation to explore free energy landscapes

The recently discovered supersymmetric generalizations of Langevin dynamics and Kramers equation can be utilized for the exploration of free energy landscapes of systems whose large time-scale separation hampers the usefulness of standard molecular dynamics techniques. The first realistic application is here presented. The system chosen is a minimalist model for a short alanine peptide exhibiting a helix-coil transition.
