The paper presents a neural operator that learns the Kohn–Sham map, directly predicting electron density from the Kohn–Sham potential without orbital diagonalization. Using a domain‑invariant SE(3)‑equivariant Fourier neural operator trained on 8,504 molecules and solids, the model achieves quasi‑linear scaling self‑consistent field (SCF) convergence across diverse systems—including organic molecules, insulators, and metals—while reproducing Kohn–Sham DFT accuracy for densities, spectra, and structural observables. This enables large‑scale simulations, such as magnesium dislocation densities with 82,500 valence electrons, on a single GPU.

The paper introduces Gaussian Splatting for Density Functional Theory (GS‑DFT), a method that represents molecular orbitals as a cloud of Gaussians optimized via gradient descent. GS‑DFT replaces fixed atom‑centered basis sets with an adaptive, differentiable orthogonalization and efficient two‑electron integral evaluation, achieving accuracy comparable to large conventional bases with far fewer parameters. The solver scales quadratically with cloud size, enabling simulations of up to 2,742 atoms on a single four‑GPU node at triple‑zeta precision.

The paper introduces AugNet, a complete neural electronic initializer that satisfies seven criteria for accelerating plane‑wave density functional theory (DFT) under the projector augmented wave (PAW) formalism. AugNet provides general equivariant predictions for PAW augmentation occupancies and spin densities, filling gaps left by previous models that omitted structure‑dependent components. When combined with existing valence density models, the approach achieves up to ~25% reduction in end‑to‑end DFT wall time on unseen structures while maintaining converged energies.
