UCLA & Caltech use quantum-enhanced AI on NVIDIA GPUs to steer molecules
Researchers at UCLA’s NarangLab and Caltech, working with NVIDIA, used a Fourier Neural Operator to model molecular dynamics and design control sequences. The approach is described as quantum-informed AI running on NVIDIA GPUs.

Fourier neural operators trained on molecular dynamics could enable design of control sequences for specific molecular systems without repeated expensive quantum chemistry simulations.
The abstract demonstrates that the model learns dynamics and produces control sequences; extending this to new molecules would primarily require training data and validation, both feasible within two years using existing GPU infrastructure.
