INQ
INQ is a modular, scalable, high-performance DFT/TDDFT code for modern high-performance computers, with extensive support for advanced architectures including GPUs.
It can calculate ground state properties in DFT and also excited states using time-dependent DFT (TDDFT) in real-time and linear-response.
INQ is an engine for electronic structure calculations that can work in three ways: as a standalone electronic structure code, as a library to implement complex electronic structure methods, or a proxy-app to evaluate the performance of electronic structure algorithms on high-performance computing platforms.

USER-EPH: Electron-Ion Interaction and Electronic Stopping
LAMMPS extension (LAMMPS "fix") that generalizes the two-temperature model to include electron-phonon coupling to capture electron-ion interactions and electronic stopping in materials. The theory behind this extension is designed to represent cascades, laser heating and equilibration and study energy transport with realistic electronic stopping power and electron-phonon coupling. The theory is developed in the papers "Langevin dynamics with spatial correlations as a model for electron-phonon coupling" (https://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.120.185501) and "Electron-phonon interaction within classical molecular dynamics" (https://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevB.94.024305).

TopoMS
TopoMS is a computational tool for detailed topological analysis of molecular and condensed matter systems, including the computation of atomic volumes and charges through the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (also known as Bader analysis), as well as the complete molecular graph. With roots in techniques from computational topology, and using a shared-memory parallel approach, TopoMS provides scalable, numerically robust, and topologically consistent analysis.

TrajectoryExplorer
TrajectoryExplorer is an interactive tool to enable the exploration of atomic trajectories and corresponding statistics in molecular systems. TrajectoryExplorer presents a GUI, based on Qt, to explore statistically important time-scales in atomic motion and the corresponding molecular behavior, which can lead to insights into diffusive and other dynamical properties. It also allows investigation of uncertainty in trajectory data as well as its visual representation -- in real-time -- to enable a more detailed and informative exploration.
