Molecular dynamics simulations provide a mechanistic description of molecules by relying on empirical potentials. The quality and transferability of such potentials can be improved leveraging data-driven models derived with machine learning approaches. Here, we present TorchMD, a framework for molecular simulations with mixed classical and machine learning potentials. All force computations including bond, angle, dihedral, Lennard-Jones, and Coulomb interactions are expressed as PyTorch arrays and operations. Moreover, TorchMD enables learning and simulating neural network potentials. We validate it using standard Amber all-atom simulations, learning an ab initio potential, performing an end-to-end training, and finally learning and simulating a coarse-grained model for protein folding. We believe that TorchMD provides a useful tool set to support molecular simulations of machine learning potentials.
