Query: Nonequilibrium candidate Monte Carlo: A new tool for efficient
  equilibrium simulation   Metropolis Monte Carlo simulation is a powerful tool for studying the
equilibrium properties of matter. In complex condensed-phase systems, however,
it is difficult to design Monte Carlo moves with high acceptance probabilities
that also rapidly sample uncorrelated configurations. Here, we introduce a new
class of moves based on nonequilibrium dynamics: candidate configurations are
generated through a finite-time process in which a system is actively driven
out of equilibrium, and accepted with criteria that preserve the equilibrium
distribution. The acceptance rule is similar to the Metropolis acceptance
probability, but related to the nonequilibrium work rather than the
instantaneous energy difference. Our method is applicable to sampling from both
a single thermodynamic state or a mixture of thermodynamic states, and allows
both coordinates and thermodynamic parameters to be driven in nonequilibrium
proposals. While generating finite-time switching trajectories incurs an
additional cost, driving some degrees of freedom while allowing others to
evolve naturally can lead to large enhancements in acceptance probabilities,
greatly reducing structural correlation times. Using nonequilibrium driven
processes vastly expands the repertoire of useful Monte Carlo proposals in
simulations of dense solvated systems.
