Latent unified smooth Hamiltonians for excited state chemistry

The paper introduces a neural network architecture that learns a latent, implicit basis representation of the electronic-state Hamiltonian, enabling a unified treatment of ground and excited states, conical intersections, and non‑adiabatic couplings. The model is trained on realistic photochemical systems—thymine and azobenzene—and accurately reproduces energies, oscillator strengths, and critical geometries such as conical intersections and excited‑state minima. It also captures Berry phase accumulation around conical intersections and can be extended to learn other operators like transition dipole moments.

ElemeNet: Multiscale Molecular Machine Learning with Uncertainty Quantification Across the Periodic Table

arXiv:2606. 30961v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Advances in deep learning architectures and representations have enabled ML-driven chemical property prediction, but state-of-the-art (SOTA) models have remained largely confined to independent codebases and lack support for diverse chemical species.

Response-state Learning for Transferable Vibrational Spectroscopic Characterization with Electron Prior

The paper introduces SO(3) Equivariant Neural Kalman Networks (SENK), a model that predicts vibrational spectra by cascading an equivariant transformer backbone, an Equivariant Neural Kalman bridge, and an NBO-informed electronic-prior pathway. SENK improves accuracy over DetaNet on QM9S and QMe14S datasets while maintaining full-spectrum IR and Raman fidelity from small molecules to drug-like systems. It also remains stable and selectively enhances spectrally sensitive features in biomolecular systems with complex stereoelectronic effects, enabling transferable vibrational spectroscopy across diverse molecular materials.
