| Summary:

This article reviews the concepts and methods of variational path sampling.
These methods allow computational studies of rare events in systems driven
arbitrarily far from equilibrium. Based upon a statistical mechanics of
trajectory space and leveraging the theory of large deviations, they provide a
perspective with which dynamical phenomena can be studied with the same types
of ensemble reweighting ideas that have been used for static equilibrium
properties. Applications to chemical, material, and biophysical systems are
highlighted.
