Efficient and Equivariant Graph Networks for Predicting Quantum Hamiltonian

Haiyang Yu, Zhao Xu, Xiaofeng Qian et al.

We consider the prediction of the Hamiltonian matrix, which finds use in quantum chemistry and condensed matter physics. Efficiency and equivariance are two important, but conflicting factors. In this work, we propose a SE(3)-equivariant network, named QHNet, that achieves efficiency and equivariance. Our key advance lies at the innovative design of QHNet architecture, which not only obeys the underlying symmetries, but also enables the reduction of number of tensor products by 92\%. In addition, QHNet prevents the exponential growth of channel dimension when more atom types are involved. We perform experiments on MD17 datasets, including four molecular systems. Experimental results show that our QHNet can achieve comparable performance to the state of the art methods at a significantly faster speed. Besides, our QHNet consumes 50\% less memory due to its streamlined architecture. Our code is publicly available as part of the AIRS library (\url{https://github.com/divelab/AIRS}).

Multi-objective Generative Design of Three-Dimensional Composite Materials

Zhengyang Zhang, Han Fang, Zhao Xu et al.

Composite materials with 3D architectures are desirable in a variety of applications for the capability of tailoring their properties to meet multiple functional requirements. By the arrangement of materials' internal components, structure design is of great significance in tuning the properties of the composites. However, most of the composite structures are proposed by empirical designs following existing patterns. Hindered by the complexity of 3D structures, it is hard to extract customized structures with multiple desired properties from large design space. Here we report a multi-objective driven Wasserstein generative adversarial network (MDWGAN) to implement inverse designs of 3D composite structures according to given geometrical, structural and mechanical requirements. Our framework consists a GAN based network which generates 3D composite structures possessing with similar geometrical and structural features to the target dataset. Besides, multiple objectives are introduced to our framework for the control of mechanical property and isotropy of the composites. Real time calculation of the properties in training iterations is achieved by an accurate surrogate model. We constructed a small and concise dataset to illustrate our framework. With multiple objectives combined by their weight, and the 3D-GAN act as a soft constraint, our framework is proved to be capable of tuning the properties of the generated composites in multiple aspects, while keeping the selected features of different kinds of structures. The feasibility on small dataset and potential scalability on objectives of other properties make our work a novel, effective approach to provide fast, experience free composite structure designs for various functional materials.
