摘要 (Abstract)：
Calculating molecular properties is the cornerstone for many vital industry problems, including drug discovery and material design. These properties are commonly solved by Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KSDFT), which still has a large cost scaling, while more scalable alternatives like orbital-free DFT (OFDFT) suffer from accuracy issues, especially for non-periodic molecular systems. In this work, we propose M-OFDFT, an OFDFT implementation that achieves the same level of accuracy as KSDFT on molecules, while maintaining the lower cost scaling. M-OFDFT uses a deep learning model to better approximate the kinetic energy density functional, which is the key component for OFDFT. We build the essential non-locality into the model, which is made affordable by the concise density representation as expansion coefficients under an atomic basis. With techniques to address unconventional learning challenges, M-OFDFT achieves a comparable accuracy to KSDFT on a wide range of molecules untouched by OFDFT before. More attractively, M-OFDFT extrapolates well to molecules much larger than those seen in training, which unleashes the appealing scaling of OFDFT for studying large molecules, representing an advancement of the accuracy-efficiency trade-off frontier in electronic structure methods.
