Data-driven compression of electron-phonon interactions

Abstract

First-principles calculations of electron interactions in materials have seen rapid progress in recent years, with electron-phonon (e-ph) interactions being a prime example. However, these techniques use large matrices encoding the interactions on dense momentum grids, which reduces computational efficiency and obscures interpretability. For e-ph interactions, existing interpolation techniques leverage locality in real space, but the high dimensionality of the data remains a bottleneck to balance cost and accuracy. Here we show an efficient way to compress e-ph interactions based on singular value decomposition (SVD), a widely used matrix / image compression technique. Leveraging (un)constrained SVD methods, we accurately predict material properties related to e-ph interactions - including charge mobility, spin relaxation times, band renormalization, and superconducting critical temperature - while using only a small fraction (1-2%) of the interaction data. These findings unveil the hidden low-dimensional nature of e-ph interactions. Furthermore, they accelerate state-of-the-art first-principles e-ph calculations by about two orders of magnitudes without sacrificing accuracy. Our Pareto-optimal parametrization of e-ph interactions can be readily generalized to electron-electron and electron-defect interactions, as well as to other couplings, advancing quantitative studies of condensed matter.
