OPEN-SOURCE INITIATIVE

KITE code: real-space simulation of quantum condensed matter for the first time scalable to billions of atomic orbitals

Large-scale multi-orbital models

Realistic disorder landscapes and disorder statistics

Fine spectral resolution, ideal for studies of quantum critical phenomena

ACCURACY

Green’s functions are evaluated by means of accurate real-space spectral expansions, which provide fine control over accuracy and energy resolution for all in-built functions for both pristine and disordered crystals.

SCALABILITY & SPEED

KITE boasts a suite of fast and highly-scalable spectral algorithms, capable to treat extremely large computational domains with up to billions of atomic orbitals at relatively modest computational costs. Target functions are evaluated by means of multi-threaded algorithms that can be easily optimized to specific CPU architectures.

VERSATILITY

KITE's target functions span a wide range of physical properties (e.g., local DOS and optical conductivity) of lattice models with arbitrary complexity. A friendly python interface allows to easily define/import model parameters and select desired target functions and algorithms (single-shot, full spectral, etc.).
