About BIOVIA TURBOMOLE
BIOVIA TURBOMOLE is a high-performance quantum chemistry software package designed for ab initio electronic structure calculations across molecules, clusters, periodic systems, and solutions. Developed initially by the University of Karlsruhe and Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe GmbH, and now maintained by TURBOMOLE GmbH, it offers a comprehensive suite of computational methods, including density functional theory (DFT), Møller–Plesset perturbation theory, coupled-cluster techniques, and GW-Bethe–Salpeter methods. It excels in delivering accurate predictions for chemical reactions, spectroscopy, and optical device simulations, with features like reaction path optimizations, transition state searches, and solvation effects modeled using COSMO-RS. Spectroscopic capabilities encompass IR, Raman, VCD, UV-Vis, and vibronic spectra, while optical property simulations benefit from advanced spin-orbit coupling methods and relativistic all-electron calculations.
