About Octopus

Octopus is a software package for performing density-functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) simulations. It focuses on real-space methods to model electron-ion dynamics in systems under time-dependent electromagnetic fields. This simulator is known for its simplicity, allowing intuitive visualizations of wave functions and electron densities. It has been successfully used to calculate spectra, laser-induced processes, and more across various systems.
