[Pw_forum] a question about Want package

[Andrea Ferretti]

Hi Mohsen,

I think the two codes are meant to do similar jobs for the hardcore
part of the calculation (such as the localization of wannier functions), while
then probably differ more in terms of the final applications, postproc
tools, user interface, etc...

you can find more details looking directly at the websites:

wannier90:

want:
http://www.wannier-transport.org

cheers
Andrea
