Quantum Deep Field: Data-Driven Wave Function, Electron Density Generation, and Atomization Energy Prediction and Extrapolation with Machine Learning

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have been used to successfully predict molecular properties calculated based on the Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT). Although this prediction is fast and accurate, we believe that a DNN model for KS-DFT must not only predict the properties but also provide the electron density of a molecule. This Letter presents the quantum deep field (QDF), which provides the electron density with an unsupervised but end-to-end physics-informed modeling by learning the atomization energy on a large-scale dataset. QDF performed well at atomization energy prediction, generated valid electron density, and demonstrated extrapolation.
