Background
It has been recognized that the traditional way of scientific software developments is coming to its end due to
- No-interoperability between packages
- Growing maintenance overheads of large packages
- Steep learning curve of existing packages
- Limited collaborations by closed development environments
- Significantly reduced code clarity by mixed language versions
- Non-flexible structures for future heterogeneous HW
- Most of all, redundant code developments over and over again…
To overcome the challenges and bring efficient and elegant development environments to the science community, a modular App/Workflow approach has been tested and implmented into a web-based platform, called Modular Quantum Chemistry Package MQCP.
Here, open Quantum Project has been initiated to establish its foundation by providing the relevant quantum mechanical software, tools, libraries and manuals.
