We compare the convergence of Vendi sampling and Replica sampling, by observing the free energy difference (eq. 4) between the segments A : {x ∈ [-1, 0]} and B : {x ∈ [0, 1]} for both methods, as a function of simulation step. Vendi sampling consistently outperforms the Replica sampling baseline (Fig. ) by reaching the true free energy difference within 0.1 kT in fewer steps. Specifically, for 4 replicas Vendi sampling converged at 150'000 steps, whereas for 8 and 16 replicas Vendi Sampling reached similar values by the 50, 000th step. In contrast, Replica sampling required at least twice as many steps to achieve similar convergence.
