Fully Differentiable Extended Tight-Binding

- Combining semi-empirical quantum chemistry with machine learning in PyTorch -

Python Versions PyTorch Versions


The xTB methods (GFNn-xTB) are a series of semi-empirical quantum chemical methods that provide a good balance between accuracy and computational cost.

With dxtb, we provide a re-implementation of the xTB methods in PyTorch, which allows for automatic differentiation and seamless integration into machine learning frameworks.

NOTE: If you encounter any bugs or have questions on how to use dxtb, feel free to open an issue.

Installation

pip PyPI Version PyPI Downloads

dxtb can easily be installed with pip.

sh pip install dxtb[libcint]

Installing the libcint interface is highly recommended, as it is significantly faster than the pure PyTorch implementation and provides access to higher-order multipole integrals and their derivatives (required for GFN2-xTB). However, the interface is currently only available on Linux.

conda Conda Version Conda Downloads

dxtb is also available on conda from the conda-forge channel.

sh mamba install dxtb

Don't forget to install the libcint interface (not on conda) via pip install tad-libcint. The libcint interface is required for GFN2-xTB.

For Windows, dxtb is not available via conda, because PyTorch itself is not registered in the conda-forge channel.

Other

For more options, see the installation guide in the documentation.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to compute the energy and forces using GFN1-xTB.

```python import torch import dxtb

dd = {"dtype": torch.double, "device": torch.device("cpu")}

LiH

numbers = torch.tensor([3, 1], device=dd["device"]) positions = torch.tensor([[0.0, 0.0, 0.0], [0.0, 0.0, 1.5]], **dd)

instantiate a calculator

calc = dxtb.calculators.GFN1Calculator(numbers, **dd)

compute the energy

pos = positions.clone().requiresgrad(True) energy = calc.get_energy(pos)

obtain gradient (dE/dR) via autograd

(g,) = torch.autograd.grad(energy, pos)

Alternatively, forces can directly be requested from the calculator.

(Don't forget to manually reset the calculator when the inputs are identical.)

calc.reset() pos = positions.clone().requiresgrad(True) forces = calc.get_forces(pos)

assert torch.equal(forces, -g) ```

All quantities are in atomic units.

For more examples and details, check out the documentation.

Note that only the latest bug fix version is listed, but all preceding bug fix minor versions are supported. For example, although only version 2.2.2 is listed, version 2.2.0 and 2.2.1 are also supported.

Restriction for macOS and Windows:

On macOS and Windows, PyTorch<2.0.0 does only support Python<3.11.

The libcint interface is not available for macOS and Windows. Correspondingly, the integral evaluation can be considerably slower. Moreover, higher-order multipole integrals (dipole, quadrupole, ...) are not implemented. While macOS support may be considered in the future, native Windows support is not possible, because the underlying libcint library does not work under Windows.
