q-e-logo

This is the distribution of the Quantum ESPRESSO suite of codes (ESPRESSO: opEn-Source Package for Research in Electronic Structure, Simulation, and Optimization).

License: GPL v2

USAGE

Quick installation instructions for the impatient:

./configure [options]
make all

("make" alone prints a list of acceptable targets). Binaries go in bin/. For more information, see the general documentation in directory Doc/, package-specific documentation in */Doc/, and the web site http://www.quantum-espresso.org/

PACKAGES

  • PWscf: structural optimisation and molecular dynamics on the electronic ground state, with self-consistent solution of DFT equations;
  • CP: Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics;
  • PHonon: vibrational and dielectric properties from Density-Functional Perturbation Theory;
  • TD-DFPT: spectra from Time-dependent Density-Functional Perturbation Theory;
  • EPW: calculation of electron-phonon coefficients in metals;
  • PWneb: reaction pathways and transition states with the Nudged Elastic Band method;
  • GWL: many-body perturbation theory in the GW approach using ultra-localised Wannier functions and Lanczos chains.

Modular libraries

The following libraries have been isolated and partially encapsulated in view of their release for usage in other codes as well:

  • UtilXlib: performing basic MPI handling, error handling, timing handling.
  • FFTXlib: parallel (MPI and OpenMP) distributed three-dimensional FFTs, performing also load-balanced distribution of data (plane waves, G-vectors and real-space grids) across processors.
  • LAXlib: parallel distributed dense-matrix diagonalization, using ELPA, SCALapack, or a custom algorithm.
  • KS Solver: parallel iterative diagonalization for the Kohn-Sham Hamiltonian (represented as an operator),using block Davidson and band-by-band or block Conjugate-Gradient algorithms.
  • LRlib: performs a variety of tasks connected with (time-dependent) DFPT, to be used also in connection with Many-Body Perturbation Theory.
