Kwant: a Python package for quantum transport in tight-binding systems, developed with Christoph Groth (CEA Grenoble), Michael Wimmer and Anton Akhmerov (TU Delft). A Kwant script looks very much like the equations one writes on the blackboard. Paper · video abstract.
Tkwant: the time-dependent extension of Kwant, for simulating time-resolved quantum transport, developed with Thomas Kloss and Christoph Groth. Paper.
xfac and tensor4all: libraries for tensor cross interpolation and quantics tensor trains, developed within the tensor4all collaboration, notably with Yuriel Núñez Fernández, Marc K. Ritter, Hiroshi Shinaoka and Jan von Delft. Paper.
KNIT (historical): our first open-source quantum transport code, now superseded by Kwant. Paper · download release 1.2 (tar.gz, 5.5 MB) · user guide (pdf).

House of Quantum Alps (Maison du Quantique Alpes), of which I am currently the director. It brings together researchers and industrial partners around quantum computing and quantum-inspired methods, with a focus on applications.
Intrica Computing: a project, based in Geneva and supported by Innosuisse, that aims at bringing quantum-inspired (tensor network) methods to industrial applications. It is led by Julian Thoenniss; I am involved as co-founder and scientific advisor.
SciPost: I am a fellow editor of this open-access journal.
