- 适合量子化学、材料模拟等领域追求高精度电子结构的研究者。
在量子化学中,变分从头算方法因其可直接获取波函数而突出,理论上可轻松提取任意可观测量,但实际操作常面临技术困难与计算成本过高问题。本文以电子密度为核心可观测量,提出一种新方法:通过神经网络表示电子密度,捕捉已知渐近特性,并利用评分匹配与噪声对比估计从实空间多电子波函数中训练得到准确密度。结合深度学习变分蒙特卡洛(deep QMC)获得无基组误差的高精度波函数,再通过本方法推导出对应高精度电子密度,成功计算了偶极矩、核力、接触密度及其他密度相关性质。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Variational ab-initio methods in quantum chemistry stand out among other methods in providing direct access to the wave function. This allows in principle straightforward extraction of any other observable of interest, besides the energy, but in practice this extraction is often technically difficult and computationally impractical. Here, we consider the electron density as a central observable in quantum chemistry and introduce a novel method to obtain accurate densities from real-space many-electron wave functions by representing the density with a neural network that captures known asymptotic properties and is trained from the wave function by score matching and noise-contrastive estimation. We use variational quantum Monte Carlo with deep-learning ansätze (deep QMC) to obtain highly accurate wave functions free of basis set errors, and from them, using our novel method, correspondingly accurate electron densities, which we demonstrate by calculating dipole moments, nuclear forces, contact densities, and other density-based properties.
