The maintenance and further development of the QUANTUM ESPRESSO distribution
is promoted by the QUANTUM ESPRESSO Foundation under the coordination of
Paolo Giannozzi (Univ. Udine and IOM-CNR, Italy) and Pietro Delugas
(SISSA Trieste) with a strong support from the MaX - Materials design
at the Exascale EU Centre of Excellence. The GPU porting is mostly the
work of Pietro Bonfà (Univ. Parma).
Contributors to QUANTUM ESPRESSO, beyond the authors of the papers
mentioned in Sec.1.4, include:
- Victor Yu (Urbana-Champaign) for various bug fixes and
optimizations;
- Alexandre Tkatchenko's group, in particular Szabolcs Goger
(U. Luxembourg), and Robert DiStasio's group, in particular
Hsin-Yu Ko (Cornell), for Many-Body Dispersion (MBD) correction;
- Federico Ficarelli and Daniele Cesarini (CINECA), with help
from Ye Luo (Argonne) and Sebastian Gsänger, for CMake support;
- Ye Luo (Argonne) for many contributions to improved threading,
GPU porting, CI (Continuous integration), and testing;
- Fabio Affinito and Sergio Orlandini (CINECA) for ELPA support,
for contributions to the FFT library, and for various parallelization
improvements;
- Sebastiano Caravati for direct support of GTH pseudopotentials
in analytical form, Santana Saha and Stefan Goedecker (Basel U.)
for improved UPF converter of newer GTH pseudopotentials;
- Axel Kohlmeyer for libraries and utilities to call QUANTUM ESPRESSO from external codes (see the COUPLE sub-directory), made the
parallelization more modular and usable by external codes;
- Èric Germaneau for TB09 meta-GGA functional, using libxc;
- Guido Roma (CEA Saclay) for vdw-df-obk8 e vdw-df-ob86 functionals;
- Yves Ferro (Univ. Provence) for SOGGA and M06L functionals;
- Ikutaro Hamada (NIMS, Japan) for RPBE, OPTB86B-vdW, REV-vdW-DF2
functionals, fixes to pw2xsf utility;
- Daniel Forrer (Padua Univ.) and Michele Pavone
(Naples Univ. Federico II) for dispersions interaction in the
framework of DFT-D;
- Filippo Spiga (University of Cambridge, now at NVidia)
for mixed MPI-OpenMP parallelization and for the first
GPU-enabled version;
- Costas Bekas and Alessandro Curioni (IBM Zurich) for the initial
BlueGene porting.
Contributors to specific QUANTUM ESPRESSO packages are acknowledged in the
documentation of each package.
