Neural-Network Solutions to Real-Space Charge Density and Generalization
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.14906v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The Hohenberg-Kohn theorem establishes that, in principle, the ground state (GS) charge density contains all GS information of a many-electron system, such that all GS observables can be expressed as functionals of the GS charge density. Conventional Kohn-Sham density functional theory requires iterative solution of the self-consistent-field equations at substantial computational cost, motivating the development of deep learning surrogates for electronic structure calculations and, in turn, accelerating computer-aided materials design. Here, we
