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 …

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 …

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 …

A machine learning potential with low error in the potential energies does not guarantee good performance for the simulations. One of the reasons is that it is hard to train machine learning potentials with balanced descriptions of different PES regions, …

AI-accelerated nonadiabatic dynamics reduces the cost of the ab initio simulations of nonlinear time-resolved spectra. We have developed a robust protocol and demonstrated its feasibility for calculating stimulated emission contributions in transient absorption pump–probe and 2D electronic spectra of pyrazine. …
