Generating Physically Consistent Molecules with Energy-Based Models

ArXi:2605.18381v1 Announce Type: new Molecules in equilibrium follow a Boltzmann distribution, making the underlying energy landscape a physically grounded modeling objective. However, such landscapes are difficult to learn from data and, once learned, hard to sample from. Diffusion and flow-matching models sidestep these difficulties by learning a time-conditional score or transport field between noise and data, losing the energy inductive bias in exchange for a tractable
