An ab initio foundation model of wavefunctions that accurately describes chemical bond breaking

The paper introduces Orbformer, a transferable wavefunction model that uses deep neural networks to pretrain on 22,000 equilibrium and dissociating molecular structures. Fine‑tuning Orbformer on unseen molecules achieves an accuracy‑cost ratio comparable to classical multireference methods, consistently reaching chemical accuracy (1 kcal/mol) on standard benchmarks, challenging bond dissociations, and Diels‑Alder reactions. This demonstrates that amortizing the cost of solving the Schrödinger equation across many molecules is feasible in quantum chemistry.

Direct/adaptive-mixture phase-gradient learning for neural-network quantum states with complex phase structure

arXiv:2606. 13912v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Neural-network quantum states (NQS) are a leading variational tool for quantum many-body physics, yet their optimization is fragile whenever the ground state carries a non-trivial sign or complex phase structure, a situation generic to gauge fields, broken time-reversal symmetry, and fermionic statistics.

Complete Neural Electronic Initialization Accelerates Materials DFT

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.

Learning ab initio phase-field models

The paper introduces a method to construct phase‑field models directly from ab initio data by projecting molecular dynamics onto species‑density fields using the Mori‑Zwanzig formalism. Neural networks parameterize the resulting non‑local free energy and mobility, trained on short MD trajectories generated with machine‑learning interatomic potentials. Demonstrations on an iron‑boron melt and hydrogen‑helium mixtures show the approach can predict pressure‑dependent stability, immiscibility boundaries, and large‑scale droplet dynamics beyond conventional atomistic simulations.
