摘要
A theoretical framework is discussed in which imaginary time Feynman path integration is adapted to define a quantum mechanical free energy for activated rate processes. Recently developed variational theories for the estimation of this factor, as well as the quantum dynamical corrections to the rate constant, are also discussed.
