History

The QDD code package and its mean field (nuclear and electronic) precursors

 

The open source version of QDD is built on our previous 3D implementation of real time Time Dependent Density Functional Theory (TDDFT) PW-Teleman, originally for the analysis of cluster dynamics  and later on extended to the description of molecules and clusters and molecules in contact with an environment (matrix, surface, liquid...). Code developmemts were shared between Erlangen and Toulouse  involving numerous developers. We have also developed 1D and 2D codes for exploratory and development studies as well as a semi-classical  methods.
