TBTK: General purpose data structures for quantum mechanics*

The scientific community has developed a wide range of algorithms and software packages for solving quantum mechanical problems. However, interfacing these methods with each other can be a difficult task. The main reason is a lack of cross application conventions.

TBTK aims to solve this problem by providing general purpose data structures tailored for quantum mechanics. These data structures are intended to act as a layer between application developers that are interested in quickly developing code that answers specific physical questions and method developers that need high degree of low level control of the data representation in the most critical parts of their algorithms.
