| Abstract: | The ability to accurately simulate large molecules like proteins or DNA is a defining challenge for science. Accurate simulations would enable scientists to design new medicines and discover new materials. The fundamental challenge in this endeavor is the many-body nature of electron correlation. This causes current quantum chemistry algorithms to scale very poorly with molecular size. We have developed a set of machine learning models that enable quantum-accurate simulations of large systems by learning the nature of electron correlation in molecular systems. This has immediate impact on classical simulations. It also has the potential to impact the question of how we will use a quantum computer for large-scale molecular simulations in the future. | |
