An efficient and cost-effective approach for evaluating electronic excitations in functional materials is presented, combining the density matrix renormalization group method as a complete active space solver with machine learning techniques.
Abstract
An estimation of optoelectronic properties is a crucial necessity and an ongoing challenge in modern functional material science. This involves accurate accessing of ground and excited states in systems with complex electronic structure that are often too computationally expensive for accurate many-body methods. Building on our previous work on ground states [J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 2025, 16, 3295-3301], we present an efficient and cost-effective approach for evaluating electronic excitations in functional materials, combining the density matrix renormalization group method as a complete active space solver with machine learning techniques. We demonstrate its performance on {\pi}-electron-correlated systems, namely polycyclic aromatic compounds. The transferability and effectiveness of the derived machine learning model are demonstrated on a number of challenging examples with up to 34 {\pi}-electrons.
Orbital-free density functional theory seeks to compute the energy of an electronic system directly from its electron density, avoiding one-electron wave functions and thereby offering a route to scalable electronic structure calculations. Machine-learned orbital-free density functionals have recently achieved promisin...

We present NNLap, a machine-learned Laplacian-level exchange-correlation (XC) functional that augments PBE with a neural-network correction depending on the electron density, its gradient, and its Laplacian. The model is trained on exact XC potentials and energies, obtained through inverse density-functional theory (DF...

MLLocP is introduced, a machine learning strategy that learns the self-consistent local potential on real-space grids and supplies its displacement derivatives to the evaluation of all-electron PAW electron-phonon matrix elements, and validated for elemental Cu, polar BAs, and chemically disordered Cu3Au.
A hybrid symbolic-neural framework is introduced that unifies the interpretability of the Embedded Atom Method with the adaptability of data-driven learning, and derives a composite potential that surpasses the fidelity of its constituent models.

Modelling molecular absorption spectra from scalable ground-state representations is challenging because conventional approaches often require explicit excited states or time propagation. Here, we introduce a method to obtain Absorption Using Recursive Operator Response with vibronic Augmentation (Aurora), which combin...
Kohn–Sham density functional theory is the workhorse of computational materials science and chemistry, but the optimal choice of exchange–correlation approximation for a given system is often unclear. Traditional benchmark studies typically compare selected density functional approximations (DFAs) against high-level qu...
