• Abstract: Hohenberg and Kohn have proven that the electronic energy and the one-particle electron density can, in principle, be obtained by minimizing an energy functional with respect to the density. Given that decades of theoretical work have so far failed to produce this elusive exact energy functional promising great computational savings, it is reasonable to try and learn it empirically. Using rotationally equivariant atomistic machine learning, we obtain for the first time a density functional that, when applied to the organic molecules in QM9, yields energies with chemical accuracy while also converging to meaningful electron densities. Augmenting the training data with densities obtained from perturbed potentials proved key to these advances. Altogether, we are now closer than ever to fulfilling Hohenberg and Kohn's promise, paving the way for more efficient calculations in large molecular systems.

  We propose an approach for the quick and reliable screening of ionic conductors through the analysis of a universal interatomic potential. Eight out of the ten highest-ranked materials are confirmed to be superionic at room temperature in first-principles calculations. Our method achieves a speed-up factor of approximately 50 compared to molecular dynamics driven by a machine-learning potential, and is at least 3,000 times faster compared to first-principles molecular dynamics.

  Neural wave functions accomplished unprecedented accuracies in approximating the ground state of many-electron systems, though at a high computational cost. Recent works proposed amortizing the cost by learning generalized wave functions across different structures and compounds instead of solving each problem independently. This work tackles the problem by defining overparametrized, fully learnable neural wave functions suitable for generalization across molecules.

The method is tested on (effectively) one-dimensional systems, including the hydrogen chain, non-interacting electrons, and atoms of the first two periods. For the atomic systems, the generalizability of the regularization method is demonstrated by training also an exchange--correlation functional.
