A rotational and time-reversal equivariant neural network designed to represent the spin–orbital density functional theory Hamiltonian as a function of the atomic and magnetic structure enables ab initio electronic-structure calculations of magnetic superstructures. These calculations can efficiently and accurately predict subtle magnetic effects in various chemical environments.
