AquaGen: Scaling generative models to molecular dynamics precision on thousands of atoms

arXiv:2607. 03513v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present AquaGen, the first all-atom, explicit solvent, periodic-boundary-condition-aware generative model that produces molecular configurations from the Boltzmann distribution at a fraction of the cost of molecular dynamics (MD).

A Fixed-Point Neural Operator for Size- and Functional-Transferable Hamiltonian Prediction

arXiv:2606. 14498v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Predicting the Kohn-Sham Hamiltonian with machine learning can accelerate density functional theory while retaining access to molecular orbitals, energy levels, and electronic-structure observables that energy-only surrogates cannot resolve.

Recovering molecules from coarse-grained beads: free-energy-conditioned generative backmapping across chemical space

The paper introduces juniper, a discrete denoising diffusion model that performs compositional backmapping from coarse‑grained (CG) beads to detailed molecular graphs. By conditioning on the octanol–water partition free energy, the model generates valid and unique molecules that closely match the target free‑energy distribution for two‑bead systems. This approach enables the conversion of CG screening results into candidate atomistic molecules for further study or synthesis.

SPIBER: Reconstructing Free Energy Landscapes from Short, Unconverged Trajectories with Generative Flow Networks

arXiv:2609.22663v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Molecular systems have many degrees of freedom, but their metastable behavior can often be described by a few collective variables. Identifying these...
