| Abstract | Context: With the union of machine learning (ML) and quantum chemistry, amid the debate between machine-learned functionals and human-designed functionals in density functional theory (DFT), this paper aims to demonstrate the generation of potential energy surfaces using computations with machine-learned density functional approximation (ML-DFA). A recent research trend is the application of ML in quantum sciences in the design of density functionals such as DeepMind's Deep Learning model (DeepMind21, DM21). Though science reported the state-of-the-art performance of DM21, the opportunity to utilize DeepMind's pretrained DM21 neural networks in computations in quantum chemistry has not yet been tapped. So far in the literature, the Deep Learning density functionals (DM21) have not been applied to generate potential energy surfaces. While the superior accuracy of DM21 has been reported, there is still a scarcity of publications that apply DM21 in calculations in the field. In this context, for the first time in literature, neural density functionals inferring 2D potential energy surfaces (ML-DFA-PES) based on machine-learned DFA-based computational method is contributed in this paper. This paper reports the ML-DFA-generated PES for C Methods: In this method, 2D potential energy surfaces are obtained using a method that relies upon the neural network's ability to accurately learn the mapping between 3D electron density and exchange-correlation potential. By inserting Deep Learning inference in DFT with a pretrained neural network, self-consistent field (SCF) energy at different geometries along the coordinates of interest is computed, and then, potential energy surfaces are plotted. In this method, first, the electron density is computed mathematically, and this computed 3D electron density is used as a ML feature vector to predict the exchange correlation potential as a ML inference computed by a forward pass of pre-trained DM21 TensorFlow computational graph, followed by the computation of self-consistent field energy at multiple geometries, and then, SCF energies at different bond lengths/angles are plotted as 2D PES. We implement this in a python source code using frameworks such as PySCF and DM21. This paper contributes this implementation in open source.
