Modeling Intermolecular and Intramolecular Modes of Liquid Water Using Multiple Heat Baths: Machine Learning Approach

Abstract

The vibrational motion of molecules in dissipative environments, such as solvation and protein molecules, is composed of contributions from both intermolecular and intramolecular modes. The existence of these collective modes introduces difficulty into quantum simulations of chemical and biological processes. In order to describe the complex molecular motion of the environment in a simple manner, we introduce a systembath model in which the intramolecular modes with anharmonic mode-mode couplings are described by a system Hamiltonian, while the other degrees of freedom, arising from the environmental molecules, are described by heat bath. Employing a machine-learning based approach, we determine not only the system parameters of the intramolecular modes but also the spectral distribution of the system-bath coupling to describe the intermolecular modes, using the atomic trajectories obtained from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The capabilities of the present approach are demonstrated for liquid water using MD trajectories calculated from the SPC/E model and the polarizable water model for intramolecular and intermolecular vibrational spectroscopies (POLI2VS) 1 arXiv:2002.10600v1 [cond-mat.soft] 25 Feb 2020 by determining the system parameters describing the symmetric-stretch, asymmetricstretch and bend modes with intramolecular interactions and the bath spectral distribution functions for each intramolecular mode representing the interaction with the intra-molecular modes. From these results, we were able to elucidate the energy relaxation pathway between the intramolecular modes and the intermolecular modes in a non-intuitive manner

Probing photoinduced proton coupled electron transfer process by means of two-dimensional resonant electronic-vibrational spectroscopy

“…Since we use the eigenstate representation of the system, it is also possible to improve the description of the reacting system by increasing the dimension of its configuration space, and by introducing a more complex and structured system-bath interaction, for example, with the help of machine learning approaches. 62,63 This provides a powerful tool to analyze the non-equilibrium reaction dynamics for rather complex PPCET reactions.…”

Molecular excited states through a machine learning lens

“…172 Beyond explicit inclusion of environment atoms, dynamics can be propagated using model Hamiltonians for open quantum systems, 173 and ML has been applied to enable and accelerate the calculation of such dynamics. 126,[174][175][176] In a final approach, nonadiabatic events in the excited state are evaluated with QM methods on top of a ML ground-state dynamics (this approximation can be justified for very large assemblies, in which excited-state geometry deformation can be neglected). 42 In this case, time-derivative nonadiabatic couplings are still calculated with a QM method.…”

Autobiography of Yoshitaka Tanimura

“…For investigations of 2D spectroscopy, Seiji Ueno used machine learning techniques to create a SB model with ground and excited state PESs based on microscopic trajectories obtained from MD and quantum chemical calculations (127,136). The constructed model is then used to compute various 2D vibrational and electronic spectra using the HEOM approach.…”
