We demonstrate that a new generation of quantum machine learning (QML) potentials based on neural networks---which can achieve quantum chemical accuracy at a fraction of the cost---can be implemented efficiently in the OpenMM molecular dynamics simulation engine as part of hybrid machine learning / molecular mechanics (ML/MM) potentials that promise to deliver superior accuracy for modeling protein-ligand interactions.
