Machine learning has made significant contributions to the fields of chemistry and materials science, enabling the exploration of vast chemical space through large-scale quantum chemical calculations. These models provide fast and accurate predictions of atomistic chemical properties, but they have limitations when it comes to capturing the electronic degrees of freedom of a molecule. This restricts their application in reactive chemistry and chemical analysis. To address this limitation, we introduce a deep learning framework that predicts the quantum mechanical wavefunction of a molecule in a local basis of atomic orbitals. The wavefunction serves as a foundational representation from which all other ground-state properties can be derived. Our approach maintains complete access to the electronic structure through the wavefunction, while achieving computational efficiency comparable to force-field methods. Moreover, the framework captures quantum mechanics in a form that can be analytically differentiated, allowing for efficient optimization and exploration of chemical systems. We demonstrate the potential of our approach through several examples. By leveraging the predicted wavefunction, we showcase the ability to perform inverse design of molecular structures to target specific electronic property optimizations. This opens exciting avenues for tailoring molecular structures to achieve desired electronic characteristics. Additionally, our framework paves the way for enhanced synergy between machine learning and quantum chemistry, enabling more comprehensive investigations into complex chemical systems.
Accurate and efficient prediction of electronic wavefunctions is central to ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) and electronic structure theory. However, conventional ab initio methods require self-consistent optimization of electronic states at every nuclear configuration, leading to prohibitive computational costs, especially for large or strongly correlated systems. Here, we introduce a quantum-centric machine learning (QCML) model-a hybrid quantum-classical framework that integrates parameterized quantum circuits (PQCs) with Transformer-based machine learning to directly predict molecular wavefunctions and quantum observables. By pretraining the Transformer on a diverse dataset of molecules and ansatz types and subsequently fine-tuning it for specific systems, QCML learns transferable mappings between molecular descriptors and PQC parameters, eliminating the need for iterative variational optimization. The pretrained model achieves chemical accuracy in potential energy surfaces, atomic forces, and dipole moments across multiple molecules and ansatzes, and enables efficient AIMD simulations with infrared spectra prediction. This work establishes a scalable and transferable quantum-centric machine learning paradigm, bridging variational quantum algorithms and modern deep learning for next-generation molecular simulation and quantum chemistry applications.
