QVF / QUANTUM VISUALIZATION FORMAT

One calculation.
A whole picture.

A portable archive for structure, scientific data and provenance. The format connects independent tools without choosing a producer for you.

Read the manual Source on GitHub

Keep the context

Structure, orbitals, densities, spectra and metadata travel together when the producer supplies them. Consumers report the sections they support.

Choose your tools

Use the reference Python toolkit or implement the documented schema. QVF keeps its name and its independent GitHub home.

Validate what you share

Check an archive against the documented format version. Preserve the original archive and its provenance when converting or editing results.

Make results
shareable.

The reference toolkit is Apache-2.0 licensed. The format specification and the producer’s supported features determine what a file contains.
