Feedback and Scientific Issue Reports

Use the Open Quantum contact page to report Studio interface issues, calculation problems, or suggestions. Older Studio versions may open a retired GitHub discussion from Help > Feedback and ideas; use the contact page when that discussion is unavailable.

A maintainer can transfer a reproducible report to the canonical development repository without requiring the reporter to use the private development system.

Include in a report

  • OQP Studio version and package type, such as standalone or with-engine;
  • operating system and CPU architecture;
  • bundled or local OpenQP engine identity and version;
  • the smallest input and structure that reproduce the behavior;
  • the exact action and the observed output or message;
  • the scientifically expected behavior and, when relevant, a literature or method reference; and
  • a sanitized calculation log or screenshot.

For a numerical discrepancy, also state method, functional, basis, charge, multiplicity, target state, convergence settings, and units. For an optimization or dynamics problem, include the last valid structure and the relevant convergence or trajectory diagnostics.

Protect sensitive data

Public discussions are visible to everyone. Remove unpublished structures, credentials, private paths, personal information, license data, and proprietary force-field parameters. If a minimal public example cannot be prepared, first describe the problem without attaching the sensitive files.

What happens next

Reports are triaged as documentation, Studio interface, OpenQP engine, packaging, or scientific-method issues. The contact channel remains available for reporter follow-up; implementation work is tracked in the canonical OpenQP development repositories. Release notes identify the version containing a verified correction.
