- 适合需要快速试错、缺乏数据的前沿材料研发人员。
量子化学模拟支撑现代材料发现,但受限于高昂计算成本和固定近似方法。现有基于机器学习的势函数虽加速部分流程,却因需大规模预训练而难以适应化学空间前沿的创新需求与数据稀疏性。传统代理型AI系统也受限于预设工具集。为此,我们提出LADeQ——一种基于大语言模型的测试时算法发现框架,可在现有量子化学代码中动态构建、实现并评估候选近似算法。该方法无需任务特定预训练或标注数据,直接调用语言模型能力,从空间统计、电路模拟、核方法等跨领域技术中灵活组合思路,生成透明可追溯的近似方案,其误差可显式追踪,支持精度-效率的可控权衡。实验表明,LADeQ在保持相关能误差符合用户设定容差的前提下,显著加速了耦合簇单双激发(CCSD)与组态相互作用单双激发(CISD)计算,验证了在现有电子结构求解器内自主、目标驱动地发现近似算法的能力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Quantum chemistry simulations underpin modern materials discovery, yet their impact is limited by steep computational cost and dependence on fixed approximation schemes. Foundation models, such as machine-learned interatomic potentials, have accelerated parts of this workflow, but their reliance on large-scale pretraining restricts adaptability at the frontier of chemical space, where methodological innovation and sparse data are the norm. Agentic AI systems can automate existing simulation pipelines, yet they remain constrained by the predefined tools and algorithms they orchestrate. In response, we introduce LADeQ, an LLM-guided workflow that discovers, implements, and benchmarks candidate approximation algorithms at test-time within existing quantum chemistry codes. Rather than selecting from a predefined repertoire, LADeQ constructs candidate approximation schemes on demand, drawing on techniques from disciplines such as spatial statistics, circuit simulation, and kernel methods that have had little prior presence in electronic-structure theory. Because it builds on an out-of-the-box language model, LADeQ requires no task-specific pretraining or curated data, and the resulting implementations are transparent and inspectable, with explicitly traceable approximation errors that enable principled control of accuracy--efficiency trade-offs. We show that LADeQ accelerates coupled cluster singles and doubles (CCSD) and configuration interaction singles and doubles (CISD) calculations while keeping correlation-energy errors within user-specified tolerances, demonstrating autonomous, objective-driven discovery of approximation algorithms inside existing electronic-structure solvers.
