The story in three lines
- Key finding
- Enforcing exact total spin in neural wavefunctions resolved low-lying spin states of [Fe2S2] and [Fe4S4] clusters without extra tuning.
- Significance
- Iron-sulfur clusters are central to enzymes and hard for standard methods; physics-aware networks can reach them.
- Takeaway
- A principled way to build physical rules into neural models for chemistry.
