• Abstract: Spherical harmonics provide a smooth, orthogonal, and symmetry-adapted basis to expand functions on a sphere, and they are used routinely in physical and theoretical chemistry as well as in different fields of science and technology, from geology and atmospheric sciences to signal processing and computer graphics. More recently, they have become a key component of rotationally equivariant models in geometric machine learning, including applications to atomic-scale modeling of molecules and materials. We present an elegant and efficient algorithm for the evaluation of the real-valued spherical harmonics. Our construction features many of the desirable properties of existing schemes and allows to compute Cartesian derivatives in a numerically stable and computationally efficient manner. To facilitate usage, we implement this algorithm in sphericart, a fast C++ library which also provides C bindings, a Python API, and a PyTorch implementation that includes a GPU kernel.

  GauSim is a novel neural network-based simulator designed to capture the dynamic behaviors of real-world elastic objects represented through Gaussian kernels. We leverage continuum mechanics, modeling each kernel as a continuous piece of matter to account for realistic deformations without idealized assumptions. GauSim incorporates explicit physics constraints, such as mass and momentum conservation, ensuring interpretable results and robust, physically plausible simulations.
