Two types of approaches to modeling molecular systems have demonstrated high practical efficiency. Density functional theory (DFT), the most widely used quantum chemical method, is a physical approach predicting energies and electron densities of molecules. Recently, numerous papers on machine learning (ML) of molecular properties have also been published. ML models greatly outperform DFT in terms of computational costs, and may even reach comparable accuracy, but they are missing physicality - a direct link to Quantum Physics - which limits their applicability. Here, we propose an approach that combines the strong sides of DFT and ML, namely, physicality and low computational cost. By generalizing the famous Hohenberg-Kohn theorems, we derive general equations for exact electron densities and energies that can naturally guide applications of ML in Quantum Chemistry. Based on these equations, we build a deep neural network that can compute electron densities and energies of a wide range of organic molecules not only much faster, but also closer to exact physical values than curre
