Large Electron Model: A Universal Ground State Predictor

arXiv:2603.02346v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce Large Electron Model, a single neural network model that produces variational wavefunctions of interacting electrons over the entire Hamiltonian parameter manifold. Our model employs the Fermi Sets architecture, a universal representation of many-body fermionic wavefunctions, which is further conditioned on Hamiltonian parameter and particle number. For interacting electrons in a two-dimensional harmonic potential, a single trained model accurately predicts the ground state wavefunction while generalizing across unseen coup
