2des

In this paper published in JPC Lett, we show that by using an equivariant transformer-based machine learning architecture trained with only 2500 ground state and 100 excited state electronic structure calculations, one can construct accurate machine-learned potential energy surfaces for both the ground-state electronic surface and excited-state energy gap. We demonstrate the utility of this approach for simulating the dynamics of Nile blue in ethanol, where we experimentally validate and decompose the simulated 2DES to establish the nuclear motions of the chromophore and the solvent that couple to the excited state, connecting the spectroscopic signals to their molecular origin.
