Scientific computing

The group members have experience in programming and numerical methods, that they apply in the implementation of the scientific software. A tool that is essential for the application of new theoretical approaches to the study of realistic systems.

As an example, the Octopus code was born in our group, and some group members collaborate actively in the development of other scientific packages as Abinit and Yambo.

The development is done in collaboration with high-perfomance computing facilities, in particular with the Barcelona Supercomputing Center.
