Abstract: We present a novel deep learning method for computing eigenstates of the Schrödinger operator.  Our approach combines a novel loss function with an innovative neural network architecture that incorporates a-prior knowledge of the problem. These improvements enable the method to handle both high-dimensional problems and problems posed on irregular bounded domains. We successfully compute up to the first 30 eigenvalues for various Schrödinger operators. We analyze the generalization error in the framework of the sine-Barron space, in which a regularity result has been established with the aid of the operator theory. We also establish Barron regularity for the many-particle Schrödinger operator, which essentially improve Kato's classical regularity results in 1957.  This is a joint work with Yixiao Guo and Hao Yu.
