The paper explores multivariate conformal uncertainty propagation for multitask atomistic simulations, introducing methods such as Bonferroni‑corrected hyperrectangles, hyperellipsoidal sets based on Mahalanobis distance, and custom loss functions within conformal risk control. It applies these techniques to calibrate predictions of energies, forces, and stresses, then propagates the resulting uncertainty sets to downstream quantities like elastic constants and vacancy formation energies. The study emphasizes how incorporating correlation predictions can capture symmetries and error cancellation, and discusses the interaction between computational protocols and conformal guarantees.

The paper introduces a physics-constrained neural network surrogate that learns the microstructural evolution of binary mixtures governed by the Cahn‑Hilliard equation. By imposing conservation of the order parameter as a hard constraint on the network output, the model accurately predicts long‑time phase‑separation dynamics for both critical and off‑critical mixtures, maintaining mixture composition and matching the Lifshitz‑Slyozov domain‑growth law. A variant that enforces conservation only through a penalty term drifts from the initial composition and loses predictive accuracy over long rollouts, underscoring the necessity of the hard constraint for stability.

Physics-Informed Conformal Prediction (PI‑CP) embeds PDE residuals into the nonconformity score of split conformal prediction, yielding distribution‑free prediction intervals with provable coverage that adapt spatially to physics violations. The method demonstrates consistent 89‑91% coverage across six physics scenarios, outperforming MC Dropout and Deep Ensembles, while Fourier Neural Operators (FNO) achieve superior accuracy over CNN and DeepONet. Additionally, the authors prove that FNO’s translation equivariance limits its ability to solve PDEs with Dirichlet boundary conditions, and show that adding coordinate channels can reduce error by up to 63×.
