Machine learning orbital-free density functional theory resolves shell effects in deformed nuclei

Abstract The accurate description of deformed atomic nuclei by orbital-free density functional theory has been a longstanding textbook challenge, due to the difficulty in accounting for quantum shell effects. Orbital-free density functional theory is, in principle, capable of describing all nuclear...
