The method can be used to determine rate constants for transitions between stable states by turning the calculation of reactive flux correlation functions into the computation of an isomorphic reversible work. In contrast to previous dynamical approaches, the method relies neither on prior knowledge nor on explicit specification of transition states. Rather, it provides an importance sampling from which transition states can be characterized statistically. A simple model is analyzed to illustrate the methodology.
