Derivative Informed Learning of Exchange-Correlation Functionals

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2606. 04279v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Machine-learned (ML) exchange-correlation (XC) functionals aim to replace human-designed density functional approximations by learning directly from reference data, but they still do not consistently outperform traditional $\mathcal{O}(N^4)$-scaling hybrid functionals.

Learning the Kohn-Sham map with neural operators for quasi-linear scaling density functional theory

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.
