AI-accelerated nonadiabatic dynamics reduces the cost of the ab initio simulations of nonlinear time-resolved spectra. We have developed a robust protocol and demonstrated its feasibility for calculating stimulated emission contributions in transient absorption pump–probe and 2D electronic spectra of pyrazine. …

Alkyne-embedding [11]cycloparaphenylene ([11]CPPs) was functionalized with electron-donating, -neutral, and -withdrawing aryl substituents to yield a series of nanolassos via click chemistry. We used our state-of-the-art, artificial intelligence-enhanced quantum mechanical method 1 (AIQM1) to thoroughly analyze the electronic and photophysical properties of these …

Mario Barbatti, his group and collaborators published an update on Newton-X – a popular open-source platform for surface hopping and nuclear ensembles. An update include extension of the Newton-X platform to supervised (with our MLatom platform) and unsupervised learning (with ulamdyn). The paper is also open access and appeared in the Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation.

In the work published in New Journal of Physics, we combine machine learning (ML) with the numerically exact hierarchical equations of motion (HEOM) approach, propagating quantum dynamics of a two-state system (spin-boson model) with only ca. 10% of the HEOM …
