QC-Devs develops various free, open-source, and cross-platform libraries for scientific computing, especially theoretical and computational chemistry. Our goal is to make programming accessible to chemists and promote precepts of sustainable software development. For further information and inquiries please contact us at qcdevs@gmail.com.

The current main groups involved in development of various QC-Devs packages include groups of:

  • Paul W. Ayers, Department of Chemistry & Chemical Biology, McMaster University, Hamilton, Canada.
  • Farnaz Heidar-Zadeh, Department of Chemistry, Queen’s University, Kingston, Canada.
  • Toon Verstraelen, Center for Molecular Modeling (CMM), Ghent University, Zwijnaarde, Belgium.
  • Esteban Vöhringer-Martinez, Departamento de Físico Química, Universidad de Concepción, Concepción, Chile.
