TBTK is a software development kit (SDK) for quantum mechancial calculations. The main part is an extensive C++ library of data structures and algorithms for setting up and solving problems on second-quantized form. It is intended to facilitate the development of completely new algorithms and applications that perform quantum mechanical calculations, as well as front ends and back ends to already existing packages to enhance reusability of code already developed in the scientific community.
