This is the distribution of the Quantum ESPRESSO suite of codes (ESPRESSO:
opEn-Source Package for Research in Electronic Structure, Simulation, and
Optimization)
[](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.en.html)
## USAGE
Quick installation instructions for the impatient, using "make":
(`[]` means "optional"):
```
./configure [options]
make all
```
"make" alone prints a list of acceptable targets. Optionally,
`make -jN` runs parallel compilation on `N` processors.
Link to binaries are found in bin/.
Using "CMake":
```
mkdir ./build
cd ./build
cmake [-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/install] ..
make [-jN]
[make install]
```
"make" builds all targets. Link to binaries are found in build/bin.
If `make install` is invoked, directory `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`
is prepended onto all install directories.
For more information, see the general documentation in directory Doc/,
package-specific documentation in \*/Doc/, and the web site
http://www.quantum-espresso.org/. Documentation for developers
can be found on [Wiki page on gitlab](https://gitlab.com/QEF/q-e/-/wikis/home).
## 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 DFPT (Density-Functional Perturbation Theory);
- TD-DFPT: spectra from Time-dependent DFPT;
- HP: calculation of Hubbard parameters from DFPT;
- EPW: calculation of electron-phonon coefficients in metals;
- PWCOND: ballistic transport;
- XSpectra: calculation of X-ray absorption spectra;
- 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.
- upflib: pseudopotential-related code
## GPU-enabled version
Quantum ESPRESSO for GPU's (currently only NVidia) can be found in the
[q-e-gpu repository](gitlab.com/QEF/q-e-gpu).
