Jaguar for Materials Science

Quantum mechanics solution for rapid and accurate prediction of molecular structures and properties

Jaguar for Materials Science

Structure prediction of molecular systems at unmatched speed

Jaguar is a well-validated, robust, high-performance quantum mechanics package that specializes in fast predictions of electronic structure and properties for molecular systems of all sizes via the use of pseudospectral density functional theory (PS-DFT) based method which scales favorably with system size.

Jaguar can also be used for the ab initio-assisted design and high throughput virtual screening of new materials solutions with novel or enhanced properties for a variety of applications such as catalysts, batteries, organic electronics, and more.
