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.

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.
