The pith
A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.
The reading
What carries the argument
The carrying mechanism is the mixed Gaussian/plane-wave representation (GPW) inside Quickstep: Kohn-Sham orbitals are expanded in atom-centered Gaussian functions while the density is represented on a plane-wave grid, giving O(M log M) electrostatics via FFTs while keeping a compact localized basis. GAPW extends the same machinery to all-electron calculations by separating hard and soft density contributions. The accuracy argument is carried by the protocol--MOLOPT generally contracted basis sets paired with GTH norm-conserving pseudopotentials fitted to atomic scalar-relativistic reference data--and quantified by the epsilon(a,b) metric of Eq. 7, which compares energy-volume curves while re
What would settle it
Run the same epsilon(a,b) comparison for a set of binary compounds (e.g., oxides, nitrides, or magnetic f-electron materials) using TZV2P MOLOPT with the corresponding GTH pseudopotentials against all-electron FP-LAPW. If the metric for several binary or low-symmetry systems exceeds the range observed for unary cubic crystals, the protocol's implied transferability to general condensed-phase environments is not supported. Alternatively, take any documented property template in the review and compare output energies or excitation energies against the stated reference values; a failure at the st
Extended reading notes
Core claim
The paper's claim is that CP2K's Quickstep engine, built on the Gaussian-and-plane-wave (GPW) representation and its all-electron GAPW extension, provides one coherent framework for essentially the full range of static and dynamical atomistic properties, and that the accompanying protocol--MOLOPT basis sets plus the corresponding norm-conserving GTH pseudopotentials--makes that framework accurate out of the box. The supporting evidence is a benchmark in which Quickstep with a TZV2P MOLOPT basis and GTH pseudopotentials is compared against all-electron FP-LAPW calculations from the integrated SIRIUS code for four mono-elemental cubic crystals per element up to Rn, using the dimensionless epsi
Load-bearing premise
The whole protocol rests on parameters fitted to isolated-atom all-electron reference data, and the review assumes those fits remain accurate in arbitrary periodic condensed-phase environments, though its benchmark covers only a set of mono-elemental cubic crystals.
Editorial extensions
If this is right
- A single input framework, organized by the property to be computed, covers isolated molecules, periodic solids, surfaces, interfaces, liquids, and amorphous systems.
- The protocol gives a default starting point for DFT calculations: TZV2P MOLOPT with corresponding GTH pseudopotentials reproduces all-electron FP-LAPW energy-volume curves for the tested elements, so users do not need to revalidate baselines for those cases.
- For properties that depend on core electrons, GAPW with all-electron basis sets is the required route, enabling NMR/EPR parameters, hyperfine couplings, and X-ray absorption/emission spectra.
- GW-BSE and RT-TDDFT implementations put quasiparticle band structures, optical absorption, exciton descriptors, and excited-state dynamics within reach of the same code, with documented convergence settings giving agreement at the few-to-tens of meV level on molecular test sets.
- Low-scaling RI-RPA/SOS-MP2 and ADMM/RI-HFX variants extend post-HF and hybrid calculations to larger periodic systems, with the paper noting the trade-offs in scaling, memory, and accuracy.
Reading between the lines
- The unary-crystal benchmark leaves open a natural extension: running the same epsilon(a,b) comparison for binary compounds, low-symmetry structures, and magnetic or f-electron systems would test whether the atomic-fitted protocol transfers to chemically richer environments; the paper does not report such tests.
- The review's property-first organization implies that the method hierarchy is secondary to the observable; a user could mix, say, DFT+U for correlated oxides and RI-RPA for dispersion, but the paper does not discuss cross-method consistency checks.
- Because the templates include specific convergence keywords, the recipes carry an implicit reproducibility claim: a competent user with the same inputs should obtain the stated accuracy, and a systematic regression of each template against the reported references would make that claim testable.
- The GW/BSE guidance (evGW0@PBE, specific basis extrapolation) suggests a transferable protocol for molecular excitations, but the paper only validates it on selected test sets; extending to disordered or heterogeneous environments remains open.

Referee Report
Summary. This manuscript is a practical review of the CP2K program package, organized by target property rather than by method. It covers total-energy and force methods (GPW/GAPW DFT, HFX and its ADMM/RI variants, MP2/RPA, DFT+U), band-structure methods (SIRIUS PP-PW/FP-LAPW, GW with k-point and Gamma-only variants), embedding approaches (SCCS, QM/MM, DFET), magnetic and optical spectroscopies, real-time excited-state dynamics, X-ray spectroscopy, and related workflows. The text provides numerous ready-to-use input templates and is unusually candid about implementation limits, including CPU-only HFX, missing k-points for DFT+U, and the restriction of periodic GW-k to 2D cells. The main quantitative support is the "UZH protocol" benchmark in Section 2.1.2, which compares Quickstep/GTH-MOLOPT equations of state against all-electron FP-LAPW/SIRIUS results using the metric of Eq. (7).
Significance. If the descriptions are accurate, this review will be a valuable practical reference that lowers the barrier for new CP2K users and complements the earlier theory/code paper. Its strengths include a clear property-oriented organization, a large set of concrete input templates, explicit statements of unsupported combinations, and quantitative convergence/accuracy statements for GW and BSE (e.g. 10 meV and 5 meV claims). The UZH-protocol benchmark, if properly quantified, would also provide a useful default-basis validation for condensed-phase GPW calculations. The paper does not present new methodology, but for a software review that is appropriate.
major comments (2)
- [Section 2.1.2, Eq. (7)] The benchmark metric as written does not remove a constant energy offset. The numerator is Σ_i [E_a(V_i) − E_b(V_i)]^2, while the denominator normalizes by the energy spreads of each curve. Since Quickstep/GTH and SIRIUS/FP-LAPW total energies have arbitrary absolute references, any constant offset C between the two methods contributes N·C² to the numerator. Unless the energies are explicitly aligned (e.g. shifted to a common minimum, or the numerator is centered by subtracting the mean difference), the metric will be dominated by the offset rather than by shape agreement of the equations of state. The text does not state any alignment procedure. Because Fig. 1 is the only quantitative support for the UZH protocol accuracy claim, this needs to be clarified or the metric corrected.
- [Section 2.1.2, UZH protocol transferability] The text calls the UZH-protocol GTH pseudopotentials and MOLOPT basis sets 'highly transferable' and recommends the protocol as a general default, but the quantitative validation in Fig. 1 covers only four mono-elemental cubic crystals per element up to Rn. This samples unary, high-symmetry, mostly s/p-metallic environments. It does not test ionic/covalent compounds, low-symmetry distortions, magnetic ordering, or f-electron open shells, where atom-fitted pseudopotentials and molecularly optimized basis sets are known to require special care. The paper itself notes that separate lanthanide/actinide and nonlinear-core-correction pseudopotentials exist. The transferability claim is therefore broader than the evidence. Please qualify the claim to the tested subset or add representative compound/low-symmetry benchmarks. This is an external-validity gap rather than an internal inconsistency,
minor comments (4)
- [Section 2.2.2, RI-HFX input snippet] The input example closes a subsection with '&EBD SUBSYS'; this should be '&END SUBSYS'.
- [Section 2.1.2, Fig. 1 caption] The main text says 'a large number of different unary crystal structures', while the caption specifies 'four mono-elemental cubic crystals per element up to Rn'. Please harmonize the wording so that 'large number' is understood as the number of elements times four, not as structural diversity.
- [Section 2.4, DFT+U] The sentence 'k-points are not available with DFT+U, yet' is slightly awkward; consider 'k-points are not yet available with DFT+U'.
- [Section 3.2.4, GW k-point sampling] The statement that a 32×32 k-point mesh 'is expected to reach convergence of the GW band gap within 10 meV for a 2D material' would be easier to use if accompanied by an example material or a reference to the specific convergence test in Ref. 125.
Circularity Check
No significant circularity: the review is descriptive, and its key benchmark validates atom-fitted pseudopotentials/basis sets against an independent all-electron method.
full rationale
The paper is a user-oriented review of CP2K, not a derivational manuscript. The only quantitative validation central to the review is the UZH protocol benchmark in Section 2.1.2 (Eq. 7, Fig. 1), where Quickstep with GTH pseudopotentials and TZV2P-MOLOPT basis sets is compared to all-electron FP-LAPW calculations with SIRIUS. Although the GTH potentials and MOLOPT basis sets are fitted to atomic all-electron scalar-relativistic DFT data from CP2KATOM (Section 2.1.2), the benchmark quantity is the equation-of-state metric for unary crystals, which is not the fitting target; the comparison method (FP-LAPW) is independent of the pseudopotential parameterization. Similarly, the GW implementation claims 10 meV accuracy against the external GW100 test set (Section 3.2.3), and BSE is compared to FHI-aims on Thiel's dataset (Section 6.2.2), both independent references. The paper's many self-citations document specific implementations and recommended settings (e.g., Refs. 14, 82, 84, 103, 125, 126), but none is invoked as a uniqueness theorem or as a substitute for an independent benchmark that would make a claimed prediction reduce to its own fitted input. The skeptical concern about transferability to compounds and low-symmetry systems is an external-validity gap, not a circularity, because the comparison is against an independent all-electron method. No circular step can be exhibited from the paper's text.

CP2K is a versatile open-source software package for simulations across a wide range of atomistic systems, from isolated molecules in the gas phase to low-dimensional functional materials and interfaces, as well as highly symmetric crystalline solids, disordered amorphous glasses, and weakly interacting soft-matter systems in the liquid state and in solution. This review highlights CP2K's capabilities for computing both static and dynamical properties using quantum-mechanical and classical simulation methods. In contrast to the accompanying theory and code paper [J. Chem. Phys. 152, 194103 (2020)], the focus here is on the practical usage and applications of CP2K, with underlying theoretical concepts introduced only as needed.
