Hi,

I'm not a QM expert myself (Gerrit, comments?), but I'm pretty sure the main reason is that you cannot either mutate atom types or decouple interactions gradually in the QM part of the system. Once this is solved for a pure QM system it should be straightforward to implement the QM/MM interface of it.

Cheers,

Erik

With the original QM/MM implementation, free energy is currently not possible (yet). From what you report, I guess that also with the CPMD interface it does not work.

The CPMD interface is mostly plugged into the same setup as the other QM interfaces, I was able to bypass the error by copying modifying the free energy else statement to bypass the vdw calculations for the case of bQMMM true (and generally try to have that code match the bQMMM case of non free energy runs). But since my background is Computer Engineering and not chemistry (Chemistry 101 is as far as I got in formal training) I don't really know what should be done (I assume since as you said it's not implemented yet although I don't get a run time error that the results will be off).

Are QM/MM free energy calculations substantially different than MM calculations, or is it just not implemented because no one has needed to do QM/MM with free energy yet?
