Abstract

QUANTUM ESPRESSO is an integrated suite of computer codes for electronicstructure calculations and materials modeling, based on density-functional theory, plane waves, and pseudopotentials (norm-conserving, ultrasoft, and projector-augmented wave). QUANTUM ESPRESSO stands for opEn Source Package for Research in Electronic Structure, Simulation, and Optimization. It is freely available to researchers around the world under the terms of the GNU General Public License. QUANTUM ESPRESSO builds upon newlyrestructured electronic-structure codes that have been developed and tested by some of the original authors of novel electronic-structure algorithms and applied in the last twenty years by some of the leading materials modeling groups worldwide. Innovation and efficiency are still its main focus, with special attention paid to massively-parallel architectures, and a great effort being devoted to user friendliness. QUANTUM ESPRESSO is evolving towards a distribution of independent and inter-operable codes in the spirit of an open-source project, where researchers active in the field of electronic-structure calculations are encouraged to participate in the project by contributing their own codes or by implementing their own ideas into existing codes.

Summary

QUANTUM ESPRESSO is an integrated suite of open-source computer codes for electronic structure calculations and materials modeling based on density-functional theory (DFT). This project aims to encourage methodological innovation in electronic-structure simulations and provide a user-friendly platform for diverse scientific communities. The software is modular, allowing for interoperability, and aimed at high performance both in serial and parallel execution. It includes various tools for different simulation tasks ranging from molecular dynamics to X-ray absorption spectra calculations. The project's infrastructure allows researchers to share and develop their contributions through a collaborative platform called qe-forge. The text details its capabilities, components, and future developments.
