The novel SIESTA-BdG method enables accurate and efficient simulations of superconducting materials by integrating BdG formalism into the SIESTA DFT code. It supports complex systems and device simulations, making it a key tool for superconductivity and quantum technology research.| www.max-centre.eu
Between 2-5 June, 2025, MaX Centre of Excellence co-organized the Advanced SIESTA Workshop in Barcelona, bringing together researchers and experts to explore machine learning, high-performance computing, and emerging applications in density functional theory.| www.max-centre.eu
SIESTA is a first-principles materials simulation program based on density-functional theory (DFT). It was one of the first codes to enable the treatment of large systems with first-principles electronic-structure methods, which opened up new research avenues in many disciplines.| www.max-centre.eu
