The Matter Lab
@thematterlab.bsky.social
The materials for tomorrow, today.
We are the Matter Lab at the University of Toronto, led by Professor Alán Aspuru-Guzik. Our group works at the interface of theoretical chemistry with physics, computer science, and applied mathematics.

What do transition state search, geometry relaxation, zero point energy corrections, and extrema classification have in common? They all require Hessians!
The problem is, accurate Hessians are really expensive, even with MLIPs. We say, just shoot 'em from the HIP! 🤠
