The maintenance and further development of the Quantum-ESPRESSO code is promoted by the DEMOCRITOS National Simulation Center of INFM (Italian institute for condensed matter physics) under the coordination of Paolo Giannozzi (Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa), with the strong support of the CINECA National Supercomputing Center in Bologna under the responsibility of Carlo Cavazzoni. Currently active developers include Gerardo Ballabio (CINECA), Stefano Fabris, Adriano Mosca Conte, Carlo Sbraccia (SISSA, Trieste), Anton Kokalj (Jozef Stefan Institute, Ljubljana).

The PWscf package was originally developed by Stefano Baroni, Stefano de Gironcoli, Andrea Dal Corso (SISSA), Paolo Giannozzi, and others.

The CP code is the result of the merging of two codes: CP and FPMD, both based on the original code written by Roberto Car and Michele Parrinello. CP was developed by Alfredo Pasquarello (IRRMA, Lausanne), Kari Laasonen (Oulu), Andrea Trave (LLNL), Roberto Car (Princeton), Nicola Marzari (MIT), Paolo Giannozzi, and others. FPMD was developed by Carlo Cavazzoni, Gerardo Ballabio (CINECA), Sandro Scandolo (ICTP, Trieste), Guido Chiarotti (SISSA), Paolo Focher, and others.

PWgui was written by Anton Kokalj and is based on his GUIB concept (http://www-k3.ijs.si/kokalj/guib/).

The pseudopotential generation package ``atomic'' was written by Andrea Dal Corso and it is the result of many additions to the original code by Paolo Giannozzi.

The input/output toolkit ``iotk'' was written by Giovanni Bussi (S3, Modena).
