Learning Hamiltonian Flow Maps: Mean Flow Consistency for Large-Timestep Molecular Dynamics

ICML 2026spotlight

Simulating the long-time evolution of Hamiltonian systems is limited by the small timesteps required for stable numerical integration. To overcome this constraint, we introduce a framework to learn *Hamiltonian Flow Maps* by predicting the *mean* phase-space evolution over a chosen time span $\Delta…

Consistent Sampling and Simulation: Molecular Dynamics with Energy-Based Diffusion Models

NeurIPS 2025poster

In recent years, diffusion models trained on equilibrium molecular distributions have proven effective for sampling biomolecules. Beyond direct sampling, the score of such a model can also be used to derive the forces that act on molecular systems. However, while classical diffusion sampling usually…

Doob's Lagrangian: A Sample-Efficient Variational Approach to Transition Path Sampling

NeurIPS 2024spotlight

Rare event sampling in dynamical systems is a fundamental problem arising in the natural sciences, which poses significant computational challenges due to an exponentially large space of trajectories. For settings where the dynamical system of interest follows a Brownian motion with known drift, the…
