Data-driven quantum chemical property prediction leveraging 3D conformations with Uni-Mol+

Model backbone The designed model backbone can predict the equilibrium conformation and QC property simultaneously, denoted as \((y,\, {\hat{{\boldsymbol{r}}}})=f({{\boldsymbol{X}}},\, {{\boldsymbol{E}}},\, {{\boldsymbol{r}}};{{\boldsymbol{\theta }}})\). The model takes three inputs, (i) atom features (\({{\boldsymbol{X}}}\in {{\mathbb{R}}}^{n\times {d}_{f}}\), where n is the number of atoms and df is atom feature dimension), (ii) edge features (\({{\boldsymbol{E}}}\in {{\mathbb{R}}}^{n\times n\times {d}_{e}}\), where de
