Ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) has become one of the most popular and robust approaches for modeling complicated chemical, liquid, and material systems. However, the formidable computational cost often limits its widespread application in simulations of the largest scale systems. The situation becomes even more severe in cases where the hydrogen nuclei may be better described as quantized particles using a path integral representation. Here, we present a computational approach that combines machine learning with recent advances in path integral contraction schemes, and we achieve a two-order-of-magnitude acceleration over direct path integral AIMD simulation while at the same time maintaining its accuracy.

<div>In this work we present a detailed \textit{ab initio} study of the carbonylation reaction of methoxy groups in the zeolite mordenite, as it is the rate determining step in a series of elementary reactions leading to ethanol. </div><div>For the first time we employ full molecular dynamics simulations to evaluate free energies of activation for the reactions in side pockets and main channels. Results show that the reaction in the side pocket is preferred and, when dispersion interactions are taken into account, this preference becomes even stronger. This conclusion is confirmed using multiple levels of density functional theory approximations with (PBE-D2, PBE-MBD, and vdW-DF2-B86R) or without (PBE, HSE06) dispersion corrections. These calculations, that in principle would require several demanding molecular dynamics simulations, were made possible at a minimal computational cost by using a newly developed approach that combines thermodynamic perturbation theory with machine learning.</div>
