Briefing

  • Molecular Simulation Algorithm – Researchers from University of Warwick, Technical University of Berlin and University of Luxembourg developed deep machine learning algorithm that can predict quantum states of molecules
  • Previous Problem – Computational design of molecules for medical and industrial applications tend to require extensive computing resources and power
  • Efficient Computing – Algorithm can solve fundamental equations of quantum mechanics within seconds on laptop or mobile phone, compared to months of computing time with previous methods
  • Interdisciplinary Project – Three-year effort applied computer science, chemistry and physics knowledge to design algorithm that can represent shape and behavior of quantum states of molecules in data form that is manageable
  • Application – Demonstrates that artificial intelligence methods can perform difficult quantum molecular simulations faster for designing new drug or materials
