Quantum chemistry methods (upper right) are considered highly accurate but also highly expensive compared to empirical potential-based simulation methods (lower left). Methods that combine physics-based principles with empirical knowledge, such as semiempirical models, density functional theory, and future deep-learning-based methods are promising for improving accuracy without increasing computational cost.
