First-principles electronic structure calculations have profoundly advanced research in physics, chemistry and materials science, yet their further development remains constrained by the accuracy-efficiency dilemma. Here we highlight recent breakthroughs in deep-learning methodologies that address this challenge, including the deep-learning quantum Monte Carlo method for the accurate study of correlated electrons and deep-learning density functional theory for efficient large-scale material simulations. These advances extend the reach of first-principles calculations to unprecedented scales and complexity, enhancing the impact of quantum mechanics in scientific discovery.

Electronic Structure of Atoms
An atom comprises protons and neutrons, which are contained inside the dense, central core called the nucleus, with electrons present around the nucleus. Taking into account the wave–particle duality of electrons and the uncertainty in position around the nucleus, quantum mechanics provides a more accurate model for the atomic structure. It describes atomic orbitals as the regions around the nucleus where electrons of discrete energy exist, characterized by four quantum numbers: n, l, ml, and...

Radicals: Electronic Structure and Geometry
Accordingly, the structure of a trivalent radical lies between the geometries of carbocations and carbanions. An sp2-hybridized carbocation is trigonal planar, while an sp3-hybridized carbanion is trigonal pyramidal. Here, the difference in geometry is...
