# TrajCast Dataset arXiv 2025

This dataset contains atomic configurations of molecular and condensed matter systems used to train, validate, and test the *TrajCast* framework for forecasting molecular dynamics (MD) trajectories using autoregressive equivariant message-passing networks.
Each entry represents a snapshot from a MD trajectory, defined by the chemical elements, instantaneous positions, and velocities of all atoms, along with information about their state at a slightly later time interval Δt. 

## Subdirectories

The dataset includes data for the models presented and benchmarked in our [preprint](https://www.arxiv.org/abs/2503.23794), with time intervals varying for each system. 
Additionally, we provide a small example dataset to help you get started with our [example notebooks](https://github.com/IBM/trajcast/examples).

- **paracetamol**: Dataset for gas-phase paracetamol (20 atoms) using a time interval of 7 fs.
- **quartz**: Data for crystalline quartz (162 atoms) using a time interval of 30 fs.
- **water**: Data for liquid bulk water (192 atoms) using a time interval of 5 fs.
- **example**: Subset of dataset for gas-phase paracetamol (20 atoms) using a time interval of 7 fs. About 5-10 % of the full dataset.

## Dataset Features

The data comes in `.extxyz` format and we follow the units of style `real` from [LAMMPS](https://docs.lammps.org/units.html). Each entry correspondgs to an atomic configuration and includes the following fields:

- **species**: The type of atom (e.g., C for Carbon, O for Oxygen, ...).
- **positions**: 3D atomic positions (in Angstroms).
- **velocities**: 3D atomic velocities (in Angstroms per fs).
- **displacements**: 3D atomic displacements to the new positions after time interval Δt (in Angstroms).
- **update_velocities**: 3D atomic velocities at time interval Δt (in Angstroms per fs).
- **timestep**: Time interval Δt (in femtoseconds).
- **pbc**: Information about periodic boundary conditions (e.g., `T T T`).
- **Lattice**: The lattice vectors of the simulation box (in Angstroms).
- **num_atoms**: The total number of atoms in the system (first line).
