Abstract
Recorded 24 May 2022. Raymond Clay of Sandia National Laboratories presents "Opportunities for Machine Learning in Equation of State and Transport Modeling at Extreme Conditions" at IPAM's Monte Carlo and Machine Learning Approaches in Quantum Mechanics Workshop. Abstract: Understanding the macroscopic evolution of materials at extreme conditions is a critical component of Jovian planet modeling and inertial confinement fusion design. This is unfortunately a massively multiscale problem where one traditionally uses density functional theory (DFT) and quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) to construct equation of state and transport tables, which then serve as inputs to hydrodynamic simulations. In this talk, I will discuss several opportunities for machine learning to augment our traditional DFT/QMC workflow, potentially allowing us to achieve more accurate equations of state and transport properties, with more physical insights, at reduced cost to current standard practices.
