Density functional theory (DFT) methods are by far the most popular approaches for electronic structure calculations. However, the “best” functional remains elusive despite the increasing variety of functionals and continuous efforts to improve their computational accuracy.  In our work published in Advanced …

The explosion of quantum chemical datasets (see our overview of them) satisfies the appetite of those data-hungry machine learning potentials while raising another critical question: how to learn data in different fidelities? Here, we propose the all-in-one (AIO) ANI model, …

All-in-one: Learning across quantum chemical levels. Better than transfer learning! Read more »

Recently, we published a paper in JOC about the surprising dynamics phenomena in the Diels–Alder reaction of fullerene C60. The AI-accelerated molecular dynamics uncovers that in a small fraction (10%) of reactive trajectories, the diene molecule (2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene) is roaming around …

AIQM2 is the long-awaited successor of the highly successful AIQM1 (see Nat. Commun. paper). It has overall improved accuracy and much better performance for transition states, where it produces high-quality geometries and barrier heights: it is better than B3LYP/6-31G* but orders of …

AIQM2 is out: better and faster than B3LYP for reaction simulations! Read more »

Recently, we published a paper in JCTC about the end-to-end physics-informed active learning with data-efficient construction of machine learning potentials. It shortens molecular simulation time to a couple of days which could have taken weeks of pure quantum chemical calculations. The active …
