When restoring sampler states from storage, reassign velocities to appropriate temperature #1115

Open jchodera opened 5 years ago

I'm not sure whether this fix should go in openmmtools.mcmc or here in YANK, but to avoid the issue where velocities are left at zero when sampler states are restored from disk, we should reassign velocities when restoring sampler states. Otherwise we see this behavior: image

@andrrizzi : Were you able to address this in an openmmtools update?

Not yet! I'm planning to fix this next week after my lab meeting.
