From local learning to global electronic properties in large-scale systems
Machine learning from local atomic environments offers an efficient route to electronic structure, but evaluating global electronic properties in large systems remains computationally demanding. Here we combine real space charge density learning with stochastic propagation using Kohn-Sham Hamiltonians constructed from the predicted densities. The framework avoids target system self-consistent iterations and explicit diagonalization, while hierarchical blocking enables dense grid inference within limited GPU memory. We demonstrate density of states calculations for one million Si atoms and optical and transport calculations for over one hundred thousand atoms, without training separate models for each property. This framework extends the practical scale of electronic structure calculations within Kohn-Sham DFT, opening opportunities to investigate how atomic structure governs electronic, optical and transport properties at length scales relevant to real materials and devices.
