TL;DR: Recent extensions and improvements are described, covering new methodologies and property calculators, improved parallelization, code modularization, and extended interoperability both within the distribution and with external software.

TL;DR: Quantum ESPRESSO as discussed by the authors is an integrated suite of open-source computer codes for quantum simulations of materials using state-of-the-art electronic-structure techniques, based on density functional theory, density functional perturbation theory, and many-body perturbations theory, within the plane-wave pseudo-potential and projector-augmented-wave approaches.

TL;DR: The self-consistent continuum solvation model provides a very effective and compact fit of computational and experimental data, whereby the static dielectric constant of the solvent and one parameter allow to fit the electrostatic energy provided by the polarizable continuum model with a mean absolute error of 0.3 kcal/mol on a set of 240 neutral solutes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the cathodic and anodic limits of six room-temperature ionic liquids (ILs) formed from a combination of two common cations, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium (BMIM) and N,N-propylmethylpyrrolidinium (P13), and three common anions, PF6, BF4, and bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (TFSI), using an approach that combines molecular dynamics (MD) simulations

TL;DR: The self-consistent continuum solvation (SCCS) model proposed by Fattebert and Gygi as discussed by the authors is reformulated, overcoming some of the numerical limitations encountered and extending its range of applicability.
