Discover ORBITAL – The Industry-Grade Quantum Chemistry Powerhouse
ORBITAL (Orbital and Bond Identifying Tool for Advanced Laboratories) is the first commercial software developed by Wellenfunktion GmbH specifically for industrial users. Built on the proven foundation of the world-renowned LOBSTER computer program — and significantly enhanced through years of real-world quantum-chemical consulting — ORBITAL delivers the complete toolkit for high-accuracy quantum-chemical analysis of molecules, periodic, and non-periodic materials. Starting from plane-wave calculations, ORBITAL performs an ultra-fast, unitary transformation to precise atom-centered basis functions, unlocking powerful bonding and electronic structure analysis at industrial speed and reliability. Key capabilities:
- Crystal-clear bonding analysis (automatic COHP, COBI, COOP)
- Ultra-precise DOS, local DOS, and orbital populations with zero charge loss
- Ultra-fast, reliable wavefunction-based Mulliken & Löwdin charges
- Automatic Madelung energies
- Orbital- and bonding-projected “fat bands” that reveal exactly which orbitals and which bonding drive material properties
- Flexible atomic basis & orbital rotation
- Clean, machine-readable JSON input/output
- Intuitive GUI and effortless pre-/post-processing
- Significantly better performance than LOBSTER
- Intuitive chemical understanding — without sacrificing quantum precision
Engineered as a true industry-grade solution with tailor-made options available, ORBITAL takes LOBSTER’s academic strengths to the next level — delivering the precision, speed, and usability that demanding industrial applications require. By the power of ORBITAL’s unitary transformation algorithms, ORBITAL gives you the best of both worlds — plane-wave accuracy and real chemical interpretability — at industrial speed. Precision preserved. Chemistry revealed.
Swiss excellence. Quantum performance. Built for industry.
