[CP2K-user] [CP2K:11824] free energy calculation in pimd

[Thomas Kühne]

Dear Webb Foo, 

using constrained MD the free energy profile can be computed in terms of the potential of mean force by means of the ensemble 
average of the Lagrange multipliers to constrain your reaction coordinate. You will find a particular good description in the SI of
the following paper: https://www.pnas.org/content/104/8/2626.short <https://www.pnas.org/content/104/8/2626.short>
However, when using PIMD, in my opinion the constraint has to be enforced on the ring-polymer centroid, which most likely 
requires a little bit of coding. 

Best, 
Thomas Kühne
