PyQuante


Information about the package, PyQuante, which is shipped with common Linux distributions. The PyQuante package is designed for, Python Quantum Chemistry.


Package Name:

PyQuante

Summary:

Python Quantum Chemistry

Description:

PyQuante is an open-source suite of programs for developing quantum chemistry methods. The program is written in the Python programming language, but has many "rate-determining" modules also written in C for speed. The resulting code, though not as fast as Jaguar, NWChem, Gaussian, or GAMESS, is much easier to understand and modify. The goal of this software is not necessarily to provide a working quantum chemistry program (although it will hopefully do that), but rather to provide a well-engineered set of tools so that scientists can construct their own quantum chemistry programs without going through the tedium of having to write every low-level routine. You might want to install PyQuante-libint as well, which speeds up the calculation of two-electron integrals.
