Ab initio molecular dynamics, machine learning and complex liquids*

Using liquid water as an example I will show that deep neural networks allow us to greatly accelerate ab-initio molecular dynamics simulations without loss of accuracy. The approach naturally leads to models with different levels of coarse-graining both for the electronic ground-state and the atomic structure information. The basic procedure was outlined in two recent papers [1,2].
