        # iDEA
        
        The [interacting Dynamic Electrons Approach (iDEA)](https://www-users.york.ac.uk/~rwg3/idea.html)
         is a Python-Cython software suite developed in 
        [Rex Godby's group](http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~rwg3/) at the University of
        York since 2010. It has a central role in a number of research projects related
        to many-particle quantum mechanics for electrons in matter.
        
        iDEA's main features are:
        
        * Exact solution of the many-particle time-independent Schrödinger equation,
          including exact exchange and correlation
        * Exact solution of the many-particle time-dependent Schrödinger equation,
          including exact exchange and correlation
        * Simplicity achieved using spinless electrons in one dimension
        * An arbitrary external potential that may be time-dependent
        * Optimisation methods to determine the exact DFT/TDDFT Kohn-Sham potential
          and energy components
        * Implementation of various approximate functionals (established and novel) for
          comparison
        
        A list of publications based on the iDEA code so far is available on [the iDEA code's home page](https://www-users.york.ac.uk/~rwg3/idea.html).
        
        ## How to get iDEA
        
        The quickest way to try out iDEA are the
        [iDEA demos](https://github.com/godby-group/idea-demos), which allow to run iDEA directly in the browser
        using live jupyter notebooks.
        
        In order to install iDEA locally, type:
        
        ```bash
        pip install --user idea-code
        ```
        
        For development, get the latest version from the git repository:
        
        ```bash
        git clone https://github.com/godby-group/idea-public.git
        cd idea-public
        pip install --user -e .[doc] --no-build-isolation
        idea-run
        ```
        
        ## Documentation
        
        The [iDEA documentation](https://idea-code.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) 
        explains the inner workings and theory behind iDEA, and includes pointers on
        [how to contribute](https://idea-code.readthedocs.io/en/latest/dev/add.html) to the development of iDEA.
