Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Deep neural networks have become a highly accurate and powerful wavefunction ansatz in combination with variational Monte Carlo methods for solving the electronic Schrodinger equation. However, despite their success and favorable scaling, these methods are still computationally too costly for wide adoption. A significant obstacle is the requirement to optimize the wavefunction from scratch for each new system, thus requiring long optimization. In this work, we propose a neural network ansatz, which effectively maps uncorrelated, computationally cheap Hartree-Fock orbitals, to correlated, high-accuracy neural network orbitals. This ansatz is inherently capable of learning a single wavefunction acrossmultiple compounds and geometries, as we demonstrate by successfully transferring a wavefunction model pretrained on smaller fragments to larger compounds. Furthermore, we provide ample experimental evidence to support the idea that extensive pre-training of such a generalized wavefunction model across different compounds and geometries could lead to a foundation wavefunction model. Such a model could yield high-accuracy ab-initio energies using only minimal computational effort for fine-tuning and evaluation of observables.
