PYSEQM: PYtorch-based Semi-Empirical Quantum Mechanics

PYSEQM is a Semi-Empirical Quantum Mechanics package implemented in PyTorch. It provides built-in interfaces for machine learning and efficient molecular dynamic engines with GPU supported. Several molecular dynamics algorithms are implemented for facilitating dynamic simulations, inlcuding orginal and Extended Lagrangian Born-Oppenheimer Molecular Dynamics, geometric optimization and several thermostats.
