I am very happy to share Orbformer, a foundation model for wavefunctions using deep QMC that offers a route to tackle strongly correlated quantum states!

Digging into the model we found intriguing behaviour, such as the unsupervised discovery by the model of ‘core’ electron orbitals for second row atoms. This has been a fascinating project to be a part of! Check out the preprint for more details and results. (8/n)

We also saw very strong results confirming the experimental activation energy of a Diels-Alder reaction, and significantly outperforming earlier transferable QMC approaches (7/n).

We scaled this idea up and pushed it to work on strongly correlated systems. On a cost/error plot, we find that Orbformer is on or ahead of the Pareto frontier formed by traditional multireference methods, a first for deep QMC. (6/n)

To get cost down we make use of amortization: solving a single minimization problem with a more complex network that represents multiple wavefunctions simultaneously (5/n)

Describing strongly correlated quantum systems remains a major challenge in quantum chemistry. Deep QMC offer a potential solution, but at a huge computational cost. (4/n).

Curious what I've been working on since joining AI for science? With an incredible, multidisciplinary team we've studied the 'wave function -> election density' marginalisation using score matching & NCE. This has some big gains over older Gaussian-based methods.

Introducing Neural Electron Real-space Density (NERD) models! 🧠 You’ve solved the electronic Schrödinger equation using PauliNet or Psiformer - what next? Important properties come from the 1-electron density (the marginal #MachineLearning).
